Sea hawk vs seafarer

[truckie453]

Hey guys,

I am trying to decide between the sea hawk and seafarer. It will be my first borealis. Can anyone post a side by side picture showing the size difference? Can anyone comment on the different movements?

Thanks and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate.

Choice looks simple to me. The seafarer is not in stock while the hawk is unless you want to buy used?

I was under the impression that the seafarer was coming back with a signed crown and other refinements. I'm in no rush... Unless I am mistaken?

Used is always an option, but I never see them for sale.

We will have to postpone the seafarer for the time being.

We are now investing our limited resources on the Sea Dragon and Scorpionfish so till those projects are live and start bringing money back we are not able to cope with more projects.

Thanks for the info regarding the seafarer.

Now, blue sea hawk or black... Maybe, green?

Go w/Black dial and blk bezel and get yourself a Green bezel so then you have two looks in one watch. I have the Blk dial blk bezel and intend on getting a green bezel for mine as well and btw the Sea Hawk is a killa watch for sure!

Great looking watch and will look killah with the green bezel

There needs to be a Sea Hawk GMT! Borealis, are you listening?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Yes, I hear you. Problem is availability of reliable GMT movements. Besides ETA 2893 there is nothing else in market and the ETA ones are very hard to find and cost about $300.00 USD movement alone.

If Miyota decides to do a GMT out of their 9 series we will definitely look into this.

What about the Hanghzhou GMT movement? That's a reliable GMT movement that I'd be happy to have in any GMT watch of mine.

The Hangzhou 6460 is not bad but it is not great either specially due to its spring that its weak compared to the swiss or the japanese ones.

If they start doing a swiss version of it that would be an option as PTS Resources is now supplying 6301 Swiss Made versions where basically they replace the weak part the movement spring with a nivarox made one.

Great! I'll be looking out for the Sea Hawk GMT then in the future!

Me too...

A GMT watch is the missing link in my collection. A Borealis GMT, preferably based on their BEST watch, the Seahawk, would be ideal for me. I strongly advocate for just such a watch in the future.
