Golden Gate YC
Hi : As this is one of my current dreams, would like help in knowing it better. Is it discontinued ? If not, since when is it available on the market ? Does it have a GP made movement and case ? Is it available with leather band ? Does anyone own one ?
Sea hawk II: why so thick?
Hi all, I am a new comer. I am interested in buying a Sea Hawk II. After an extensive research on the watch, I have the following question. The caliber of Sea Hawk II is derived from GP3300, which is a very slim one. However, Sea Hawk II is 13.5mm thick. ...
helium valves...
there are 2 helium valves and this is one of the causes of it being thick. cheers, ed
Where are the valves?
Thanks. Where do the two valves locate? I don't remember seeing anything similar to, say, the one of Omega Semaster, ...Thanks.
Because it´s a very substantial case
G'day, the Sea Hawk II is a discontinued model, so i´m short of up-to-date input. But these came with a very substantial casework (the solid gold models on rubber strap are almost 200 gramms in weight) and feature a likewise thick curved crystal. Both add...
Difference between SeaHawk II and the current model
Hi Peter, Many thanks for your reply. What is the difference between SeaHawk II and the current model Sea Hawk? I can't find any visually...Do you know the weight of a SeaHawk SS with SS bracelet? Thanks. Alex
The easiest way to find out is to visit your GP dealer!
G'day, the Sea Hawk II with central second is a discontinued model (since late 2006/early 2007). Currently there´s the "John Harrison" features a small second and steel cases with gold bezels, so there´s a likewise small difference. For an overview of GP´...
The dealer in Toronto
Hi Peter, Many thanks for your reply. I have already checked the only GP dealer in Toronto and it only carries one Sea Hawk model (a gold one). :S So I can't really do any comparison. From the GP website, I do see Sea Hawk models with a central second han...
Yes, i´m sure of that
G'day, yes, i´m sure the 49920 is discontinued; we´ve touched on this in several posts some months ago. And that´s one reason as to why there are so many units with deeply discounted prices in the grey market. The other models are higher/larger, not the l...
So the case work of 300m ones isn't done by GP?
Hi Peter, Many thanks for your detailed answers. You mentioned that " In addition, at least the 1.000m Sea Hawk model features a manufacture-made casework, which is quite some efforts to produce." So is the case work of 300m models produced by GP? It is a...
That´s correct
G'day, making cases is a pretty expensive thing to do; a manufacture-made case and particularly a bracelet can be as much as a movement on manufacturing level. That´s why almost all manufacturers use outsourced cases for entry-level models. For GP, manufa...
the quality of the outsourced cases
Hi Peter, Many thanks for your patient answers again! So what is the quality of GP Sea Hawk 300m cases? How does it compare to Rolex Submariner? What about the bracelet? Thanks. Alex
