Girard Perregaux

Just went dutch with my brother in law on the purchase of a Sea hawk Pro II.  Got a great deal and it is just a great looking watch.

My first GP.  Neither of us needed a new watch but just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Hello George!

Congrats on your new watch.  Did you get ss or gold?  Got pics of your nice GP?

It's in Titanium and I'll try to post pictures today. It's incredible how the dial glows in the dark.

Hello George,

It's a great idea to do a LUME shot of the GP Sea Hawk II.  Is it on a buckle or deployant? 

-MW

Sorry couldn't manage a lume shot with may camera not enough exposure.  Got to get a better camera.

Small cameras are good for everyday use but not to take pictures of watches.

Anyways here are a few pictures of the Sea Hawk Pro II. Please excuse the quality. I also added a picture of my Blancpain FF Chrono.

Regards,

Maybe try this for lume shots:  use a tripod or prop it up with something steady and turn off flash and shoot in total darkness.  Use the timer function so you don't get any camera shake to distort the long exposure. 

Nice Blancpain chrono, seems you are sports/diver watch kinda guy, which do you like better?

-MW

Actually you are right on the dot, I do have a preference for sports watches if you consider that I also have a Submariner and a Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic. I also have a new Panerai on order (the PAM 317 in black ceramique) which kind of confirms the tendency.

As for which watch I prefer well they all have different personnalities and are all great. For example I thought that I should sell my PAM 119 having ordered the PAM 317 but in the end following some sound advice I decided to keep it.

The Blancpain is one of my favorites at the present time but today the Girard-Perregaux is scotched to my wrist.

We will see haw they all stand up to the PAM 317.

Hope this answers your question.

Regards,

I confirm, very nice watch. Xavier.
