No, I'm not a Calatrava guy! No, I'm not a Calatrava guy! No, I'm not a Calatrava guy!

Oh boy, every time I strap this vintage Sea Hawk, it really hits me...





Simplicity can be sooo cool. No, I'm not a Calatrava guy!  smile

Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks, my friend. The watch was very dirty

Super Nice

Simplicity is beauty

That picture of the head in the sand is just too funny...

also funny it didn't appear when I click into the post, only the wrist shot...🤔 This watch looks like those highly sought after stainless PP or PP looks like GP? Regardless, you have a great looking watch in great shape, congrats. Rgds Raymond

Yep, it's a trick, was supposed to only show in the summary feed

Indeed, it would have printed Patek on the dial, it would be worth a lot of money.

Simplisity at its best!

Stunning watch! A new catch? Best Blomman

Thanks Blomman, No, no, not new

showed it quite a bit before, perhaps the changed strap deceived you

Ah yes ! Simplicity ! Monsieur a bon goût !

Really excellent taste my friend, me too I would have nothing against Simplicity ! But a nice GP is always nice too... and a Calatrava also Cheers, Mike

Well said, thanks Mike. [nt]

Simply beautiful! [nt]

Thanks for looking. [nt]

Ditto to all the above.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : June 26th, 2017-13:24
It looks great!

Thanks Mike! [nt]

Not sure about the logic behind it

 
 By: crown comfort : June 26th, 2017-23:18
but in the 50s and 60s the Sea Hawk was more of a simple dress watch model for GP. Diving watches came out as Deep Divers. I think the Sea Hawk started off as a military, "water-proof" watch in the 40s but then developed to simple time-only. I think other... 

I see you've been reading Joe's posts lately :) ;)

Calatrava te epitome of elegance but GP for sure has his own players. So you're Vladded? Cheers D

Done deal?

 
 By: crown comfort : June 27th, 2017-03:08
well I have one pending, but that's not (yet) a Calatrava...more on that soon

Stunning watch

To say nothing of the strap in perfect CC Style....

Thanks, Mr Gyromatic :) [nt]

I feel the need......

to help you decide........ ...  

Of course, still trying...

 
 By: crown comfort : June 27th, 2017-03:06
to get the sand out of my mouth. If i had to pick one, I would (maybe surprisingly) take #5. I know the a-magnetic or the 570 are real icons, but I just love the stepped bezel and the old-style crown on #5! Ref? just for information Thanks Joe. CC

2552....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : June 27th, 2017-03:10
......has an absolutely amazing movement. One of the finest ever made by PP. Funny....i saw that or the 2509 as for you.

I'm an open book :) [nt]

 
 By: crown comfort : June 27th, 2017-03:11

actually....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : June 27th, 2017-03:31
....i think the 2552 is more a connoisseur's choice. It is a reference that requires understanding. Especially the movement. But the "disco volante" case is special.

You see!!!

You really are a bad influence. You really are a "Vlad". Stop denying it. Accept it.

He had sons. [nt]

LOL!!! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : June 27th, 2017-23:28

Oh! And yeah.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : June 27th, 2017-04:49
What about Christopher Lee?!

i like to think that there are different "chapters" all over the world...

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : June 27th, 2017-07:39
....but only ONE Vlad. There can be only one.

You make think you're safe from Vladhood because you're merely a Baron

 
 By: TheMadDruid : June 27th, 2017-09:27
but as King of all the things I decide to be King of I can elevate you two steps to "Earl", which, as you know, translates to "Count" on the Continent. The combination of this new title and your activities on behalf of Patek clinches it. Vlad.

Thank you....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : June 27th, 2017-10:38
... I think.

Winking smiley face. [nt]

Thanks Moritz, yep, some of those GPs are really surprising

 
 By: crown comfort : June 27th, 2017-03:06
if you can find a top condition one, that's often the problem
