This one is a real beauty. Cosmetically it has some minor scratches, and the lacquer on the face has turned gold with age, but it presents really nicely. Mechanically it is excellent. It keeps good time and looks great doing it in classic 1940s style. It is a smaller watch (32mm wide not counting the crown) as was the fashion when this watch was made.

The Sea Hawk line was designed to be extremely waterproof, but I would not trust it on a watch this old without having it serviced. The water resistant lambskin band is new, and has only been worn occasionally by me. I wore it for a few days to determine that it kept good time. In that time it lost less than a minute.

Great watch at a great price. I have one and it is superb.

Beautiful watch. I prefer vintage watches in original condition over those with restored dials. If I weren't broke I'd jump on it.

It really is a great watch! If I weren't broke I'd probably keep it.

Can't beat these old GP watches for the price. I've got a small collection of them - and I get more compliments on one in particular than I do on any of my more modern (and expensive) watches.

Bump for a wicked watch at a wicked price.

THanks. I'm really surprised it hasn't sold already.

This beauty is still available.

And another bump for a beautiful watch.

My dad was just given one of these (though slightly later era) into his shop "for parts". He cleaned it and gave it to me. Great watch. This will be a good buy fro someone.
