Initial Impressions: Techn�� GosHawk (Ref. 411)
In January, Zach brought you his review of the Sparrowhawk by Techn�� Instruments, a unique and excellently designed chronograph featuring the rarely seen Seiko VK63 Meca-Quartz movement. ?As the Sparrowhawk managed to hit such high marks at a very reasonable price point, we are excited to have a chance to review another Techn�� ?creation, the GosHawk. ?Anytime a watch with an automatic mechanical movement comes in at unter $350, we take notice, especially when it's from a brand we enjoy as much as Techn��.The Techn�� ?arrives in simple yet very well executed packaging. ?As was the case with the Sparrowhawk, the GosHawk is housed in a rounded soft clam shell case with foam insert. ?Simple, yet utilitarian, this package serves its purpose as a portable protective shell very well. ?This package is also accompanied by the same beautifully assembled manual that we found with the Sparrowhawk. ?Zach said it well in his initial impressions of the Sparrowhawk, "The manual that Techn�� has devised f

I could buy new, haggle down about a 10% discount, and state this is my celebration of what I've achieved in life.....but then the frugal nut in me thinks of how much more attainable the 5 digit is in price and that it's THE watch I've always wanted. I wouldn't have a warranty card, but at least I'd do a full

Rolex in Madrid
Hi everyone. One of my friend will have a business trip in Madrid, Spain next month. He agreed to help me buying a Rolex (what I am trying to decide between EXP1, OP 36mm blue dial (116000) and OP 39mm blue dial (114300).I'd appreciate if any of you here can tell me a store to buy. And normally how much discount can I get with these models above? (In singapore, I get 8% discount for the OP without any effort).Thank you for reading.
