Ps....she would join some friends below if I can accept the 38.5mm which I feel is just that little bit small for me.

Great choice
but since you asked to be brutal... I'll only say JLC has disastrous resale... (almost all watches do, but JLC worse than the majority as a brand ) Other than that, I feel this is a timeless design and a beautiful movement at a fair price. If you feel it'...

You mean the Tribute to Geophysic in steel?
The one LE to 800 pieces? As a compliment to the 3 pieces you show in your pic, it is a good fit as a simple time only watch that can be dressed up or down both. A versatile watch Cheers robin

A true lost opportunity for JLC. An interesting manual movement, even at a decently higher price, would IMO been taken up by collectors very quickly.
By the way, I still like the TT Geophysic 1958 that JLC produced.
But it could and should have been more special.
