Vintage Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk

Friends, Another watch spotted in Paris, a vintage Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk. I must confess I have a very soft spot for these kind of numerals. Especially like here in black against a white dial! Would love to see these numeral on a modern GP 1966! Best ...  

Thank you.

That sort of makes my day !.. A hint & comment from experts, such as you, Blomman & Nico are aleays helpful.. It is also often these little pieces of knowledge, & motivation, which get us along !.. Best, hs

Here just 2 quick pics: .. Time Capsule.. Another greeting from house to house.. These timepieces have this " Je ne sais pas.." Always right, unobtrusive but with timeless appeal. - At least for me.. My little 2 cents, hs ...  

Great shot, my friend!

Please post some more shots of your watch and I will try to help you out. Check if you can find any reference number on the inside of the case back or between the lugs at 6. Best Blomman

End 40ies, early 50ies, AFAIK.. ;))

Our dear friend Blomman here likely will be able to better clarify.. Thx for kind looking & sharing your cousin piece !.. Best !!

This one I suspect is from the late 50s...

But only way to know for sure is to get the reference number. Best Blomman

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Although I am unable to get a photograph of the serial number, it appears to read 71963038. I have attached additional photos of the watch. Thank you for your help, Lewis ...  

7196, OK I will try to find some answers...

From the ref number and look mid 1950s ... Let's see if I can find out something more. Best Blomman

Love the numerals!

They have a little bit of edge and a little bit of sophistication, I have not seen numerous quite like this before, very very nice and interesting

The numerals are just awesome!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : May 5th, 2016-00:50
As said - would love to see these used on a modern watch! Best Blomman

Great looking watch
