GP ... Hmmmm.. Why not ?.. There are some attractive offers..
.. For example I like the WT Traveller in SS (or Titanium ??)
- but as of yet, these are still a bit distant desires ..
Nevertheless, I get more and more interested in GP,
and I am frequently browsing the GP- forum as well,
also - among others - to read your reports and posts there..

Girard-Perregaux, Sea Hawk Cobalt Blue, Novelty 2014
Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk reference: Blue technological rubber strap - 49960-19-431-FK4A, Steel bracelet - 49960-19-431-11A Cobalt blue and coral orange, this gives the Sea Hawk a very sporty and marine feeling. The Sea Hawk dates to the early 1940s , hav...
You know what? I like this watch more and more.
While I am not convinced by the Traveller Line, I must say that the Sea Hawk pleases me a lot. I thought, on the pictures, that the Watch was way too big, thick and chunky, in fact it is pretty cool. I totally agree with you on your preference. The Black ...
Honestly, I think many of the GP watches ...
To be very honest, many GP are not very photogenic.... Like you said, in photos they may feel big and somewhat clumsy... But once you see them in real and try them on your wrist, they don't feel big or clumsy at all ! :) For example the JLC NSA which also...
My personal favourite:
Lovely article although my favourite version is... In steel: nice and heavy as it should be ;) ...
You have the Sea Hawk, Epilogue?! :)
Did I miss this or did you not present it here?! Congratulation! :) My personal preference is for this blue version or the missions of Mermaids Special Edition that was released last year. I saw the Mermaid on Mr. Sofisti's wrist and I must say I really l...
Unfortunately, it's just a cheeky shot at the AD...
I would love to own it but it's not sensible! I have a ton of watch legends to get acquainted to before buying such pieces ;) You know what I mean?
It's good strategy...
"Fill the gaps" first and add others later... I have become more flexible on this point... Why? Because there will always be gaps in a collection and you will never have the chance fill them all or to go back later to all the watches you "waited" with... ...
I would like to own it...but I don't love it...
Same as the UN Blue Sea. Gorgeous rubber watch, very cool concept....but not very sensible until I fill up many gaps in the collection...
You should see this on in real, Baron....
You might change your mind...! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
I like it!
a lot. Especially, the blue or should I say only the blue. Both rubber and bracelet match perfectly. And the touch of orange is the icing on the cake. This is a cool diver sports watch. I also agree on the all black. For people who want to follow a trend ...
Re: People who want to follow a trend and be with the masses, why come to GP???
That is an excellent question, CC! I agree with you fully. GP is not for everyone, it is for connoisseurs! :) Thank you for your input, CC! Best Blomman
well
if you want to be fashionable, get an AP ROO as your sports watch. Nothing wrong with it, BTW, but walk into any hotel lobby or airport lounge in the world and within 30min you spot half a dozen ROO. While I travel a lot, I only "bumped into" 2 other GPs....
It wasn't always like that...
there was a time when you would rarely see a ROO or RO but agree in the last 5 years or so they have become more common. S
True
very popular nowadays with Russians. BTW: greetings to Kuwait, I have travelled to Kuwait more than 30 times. CC
Very Cool
Next time you're in town do tell, always a pleasure to meet fellow Purists. S
Already tried it on my wrist
and I decided it fits well. Check out the GP App for iPhone... for some virtual fun. :) CC ...
Liked your cmprehensive report..Like the blue version..Strong presence, commanding appeal
.. two short Qs: 1/ are there any strap variants for this one, as well ? 2/ what's the depth rating on this piece ? Very nice report - thank you for sharing ! Best, hs
Water resistant down to 1000m
Well, I guess it would be possible to exchange the blue rubber strap for any other of the Sea Hawk straps or bracelets... Not sure if it would be possible to put a leather strap on since the special lug shape. Well, my friend - I know you like blue dials....

Good to hear you are visiting us here, HS! :)
Hope you also will join us here soon! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
Here are additional pics.
Thanks Blomman for this article. It is indeed a watch with character and this version is my fav one. Is it enough to make it appealing to me? That's another question and I will try to answer it in the article I will write about it. Fx ...
Wonderful photos, Fx! :)
The blue dial really comes out and show it self in your photos! :) Looking forward to read you take on this Sea Hawk Blue. Best Blomman
