I recently handled the reissue
having never seen the original in person. I was struck by the case size of the reissue. I was expecting 36mm or so. The homage was really big. Is this also the case with the original Geophysic?

This is the trouble with the reissue
It's a remake of a perfect watch, with size increased 'for modern tastes.' The styling and mechanics and finishing are all extremely sound, but it's a little chunkier than the original, and worse for being so.
Yes it should have been
But I thought what they did was still satisfactory: an automatic movement with extra magnetism and shock protection plus regulated to an extra high standard.
The original is 35 mm. Agreed that the 38, 5 mm are a tad big. I would have preferred 37.
37 in this watch would be a dream...
...how do classics like these fall out of the catalog?
Absolute dream watch!
Congratulations on your ownership. I keep being on the verge of buying the reissue... but I know it won't satisfy the way this would
