Awesomely...flat !!

Another thing they regretably 'forgot' in this tribute, is the very distinctive curved dial of the OG. This 'tribute' geophysic dial is boringly flat, that's a shame (not to mention the odd presence of the JL logo that certainly wasn't necessary and detra...
Yes, texture is correct

They created a correct grainy texture for the dial, so that is good. What is not so good is that the original one had a curved dial (dial is flat in its center until about 4 mm to the edge, where it becomes folded / rounded under). The curved dial is part...

Hi Clavi, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and also pointing out the curved dial. What do you think of the crosshairs and the minute markers? To me, the Geophysics are a modern interpretation of the original watches so I don't mind that it's not exactly l...

...looks like pre-sold SS versions will first go to the Boutiques, then pre-sold SS versions will go to select dealers. My local AD talked with the JLC rep and confirmed they will receive one (as I put a deposit on it in January) around December. I'm hopi...
