Jaeger-Lecoultre Geophysic: Cross Hair Dial, or not?
By: amanico : February 25th, 2015-00:10
That IS the question! In 2014, I had the unbelievable opportunity to " fall " on a new old stock Cross Hair Dial, and I hesitated to jump on it, a bit, just a few seconds, to tell the truth. The Geophysic is, by far, more known with this dial: Indeed, thi...
But who will have both ?.. Apart from possible well-known subjects(?) ;))

- I guess, for me it would be tough to decide, but in my humble case, it's a non-issue, as I "only" own the TT ss/Tribute type, which I love intensively !! Maybe it may be a good reason for Geophysic GTG's to have several "flavors" on one table .. What an...
Not

:) I prefer non cross hair dial but having both is always the best way :) Cheers D
Having both he original dials is the BEST option..

and you did very well in sourcing the cross hair! Is finding an original crystal with the lume plots still possible or don't they exist anymore? You and Patrice are lucky fellows indeed! :) Best fernando
For the right plexy, you need a huge part of luck.

The Manufacture doesn't have anymore. Now, an old watchmaker who wants to sell his stock is the best ( but Lucky ) option. Both is THE solution, indeed. Best, my friend. nicolas
Cross hair all over ...

IMHO the cross hair gives to this watch a more technical look. That was the reason why I pic the "copy": I love this watch so much that I keep it on the safe all the time. I need to fix this fault. Cheers, Nilo ...
+1 more technical look
By: anaesdoc : February 25th, 2015-04:04
Hi Nilo, I fully share your opinion concerning the cross hair giving the watch a more technical look, almost like a tool watch. This goes very well with its history. Kind regards anaesdoc
I fell off my chair when....

Out of the blue you post a cross hair watch! I could not believe my eyes, as it looked brand new. Then after a while your explanation, NOS dial. Well, mon ami, this is heaven. As, I believe that the original cross hair design dial is impeccable. I gave up...
That is a journey into strong feelings, my friend.

Finding a NOS Geophysic is a tough challenge. With a Crosshairs dial even more. Not impossible, but you will need a lot of luck. The Tributes are nice first step. Perfect? No, but damn cool, yes! Best, Joe. Nicolas
Though a tool watch...

I find the cross-hair more casual and the index dial more elegant. -Dean
Much prefer the cross hair dial
By: vitalsigns : February 25th, 2015-09:52
I much prefer the cross hair dial It is more technical, which to me embodies the ethos of the Geophysic pieces And frankly I have never preferred the aesthetics of dials where the hour and/or minute line markers traverse too far into the dial...one of my ...

Let's have this discussion in the end of this year... ;) Best Blomman
I still don't have it....
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 25th, 2015-11:53
But I am working on it for sure. The once I don't have? The list is long.......... Best Blomman
I'm a crosshair fan also.
By: 2redbulls : February 25th, 2015-18:22
I agree with the others about the crosshair giving the watch a tool watch vibe, which is my preference. ...
I find the Cross Hair Dial........
By: Sandgroper : February 26th, 2015-02:05
...more suited to the watch, just my personal opinion of course. The reasoning been that as a Geophysic, showing the 4 cardinal points is very appropriate. Thank you for the nice pictures Nicolas. Cheers Francois
Stunning pair! :)

But AFAIK.. You do have something to show already now ! ;))

There\'s already a nice group of Geophysics.. And still counting.. Everyone is thinking about the looong & deeep sleeve, Even myself, I learned one or two things.. "Always leave yourself some gunpowder", is one of those. Best, my friend hs
