Initial Impressions: Techne 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

Number on the white Omega box...
Hi guys,Given I'm relatively new to Omega, I was just curious as to what the number on the white box means? There's a number on the bottom-right corner (with the Omega logo and name facing up) on the side of the box that's superimposed on a picture of an open box.On my SMP GMT, it's 3 and on my Chronoscope GMT it's 6.Any ideas?Tim

Just Admiring My YM2
My love of this one i picked up a couple months ago has convinced me to go get the SD43 Anniversary.Incoming next week!

Sub 16610 or 116610
I am in the market for a submariner. This is my grail watch. The Submariner has always been my ultimate men's watch. Looks great with surf trunks or a suit. Only issue I'm having is ceramic or classic sub. I love both. I feel if I go with the 16610 I will always regret not getting the most recent release. There's a $1,000 difference between the two. I would get pre-owned due to the price. I'm leaning toward the classic due to the durability of the bezel insert. Scared I may crack the ceramic bezel knocking it into something. Help me decide.
