Nice watch! I like it much better on the braelet.


Don't you just love this description . . .

"Movement: Automatic"

It's like reading . . .

Manufacturer: Ford
Model: Mustang
Engine: YES ?????


Why can't they specify what the movement caliber is????

GREAT topic for a thread James, I'm in! :c

The SHII Pro is one of my all time favorites, I have owned many over the years (even three at one point, don't ask me me why). I currently have two;

the
Seahawk II Pro 49940-21-631-21A
(all titanium bracelet version)

and the
Seahawk II Pro 49941-21-631-HDBA
(calfskin strap version with polished lugs and intermittent polished markers on its bezel)

For many the Seahawk II Pro is the Holy Grail of dive watches, there's the rich heritage that Girard-Perregaux has and its in-house movement coupled with the fact that when it comes down to it this is still an ultimate dive watch; 45mm Grade 5 titanium case, 2 lateral HEVs, huge domed sapphire crystal with double sided AR coating , power reserve indicator, 3000m depth rating and lume that will burn your retinas out!

Here are a few pics of mine . . .

Nice Chinese Tourbillon, shame it's has no water-resistance at all. Now who do I know with one of those, who'd be wacky enough buy one and for 1000US!?
:lol
