Girard-Perregaux Sea & Chrono Hawk Watches
I knew it was coming and I am glad that it is finally here. Similar to brands such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, Girard-Perregaux makes (or made) really good sport watches that it does not really market that much. You just sort of need to know about them. For a while, the last remaining sport watch Girard-Perregaux made was the Sea Hawk - a high-end diver with a personality complex not knowing whether it was a serious sport watch meant for action or a luxury lifestyle watch meant for cocktail hour. And when was the last time you even heard about the Laureato collection?At the end of 2012, Girard-Perregaux brings them both back into the limelight under a single collection - the Hawk. While the Laureato collection is retired for the time being, its design DNA has been incorporated into the new Sea Hawk and Chrono Hawk models. You can see the familiar design of the lugs and the octagonal bezel in there. Of course, it has been mashed together with elements from the last generation Sea Hawk models.

Any guidance on limits for the 50m rating on RO's
Hi All, I can't help myself, I love the Royal Oak. It is also such an icon for a steel sport watch. Comfy and looks great. But I am little bothered by a depth rating of only 50m on a sport watch. Come on AP! An icon of watch making, why cant they make their flagship sport watch 100m? Many other brands can and in a case that is just as thin. A bit frustrating, as I live near the beach and like to swim in my watches. I am not trying to insult any buyers or the brand. I still hope to have one one day. So with that said, does anyone have any guidance on how careful one must be with the 50m rating on AP's? Anyone have any water issues?Thanks.

5711 Nautilus through the years
For all the Nautilus experts and enthusiasts our there,What, if any, is the difference between say a 2006 nautilus vs a new one? Have they changed anything or is it more or less the same watch. Is the blue the same tone? I've never seen one in real life and they all look the same as I look at pics online. I'm just wondering as I've seen a couple pop up on classifieds here as well as other trusted sellers' sites that have been years older. I know new ones are tough to get ahold of, even in the US here. As always thanks for the feedback

Do I deserve a Rolex?
This year I have big plans. 1) Marry my girl. 2) Try to save a bit more for retirement (my 20s were crazy) and 3) finally buy a Rolex. I'm in my late 30s (good lord I still feel like a kid) I have a decent job that I like, but that can be a bit unpredictable. I've finally come to a point, through hardwork and luck, to be able to make some moves. But I just don't know if I can justify a purchase this hefty. When did you think you were ready? When did you think you could pull the trigger, financially or otherwise? I've been explicitly saving for a Rolex for about 8 months, with probably another 4-6 months of saving left to do.FYI I'm looking at Subs 114060, 116610, Explorer 214270, or Datejust 116234. Any insights from the older (or younger) and wiser?
