I went black Sea Hawk myself. Love it. Every time I look at it I see something new I like about it. I also like how the sapphire crystal doesn't "allow" people to simply label it just another homage piece. I've been impressed with the accuracy of the nh36 movement. It was the only thing that made me balk when I first came across it. For what it does to the price point I'd purchase this movement again. I'm interested in experiencing how it gets it "workhorse" label.
