Welcome here, Uli! Is this the one which was recently auctionned??? [nt]
Congratulations. I long time thought about bidding on this one.
Feel free to post more pics of this beauty. The auction house pictures were very poor, and the informations provided were not correct, since they referenced it as a Geophysic De Luxe, while it is, indeed, a E 168.
I am very happy to see that it went in a good home!

Geophysic
Dear Nicolas,
You are right. The description and the pictures have been poor and not correct.
Fortunately this watch have been presented in several articles with much better pictures incl. the soft iron cage, therefore I felt quite comfortable to make a bid.
I have been hunting for a Geophysic since a decade to attach it to my Mark XI collection (IWC and JLC) as civil version of it.
Here is the Geophysic with the military brother from 1953.
Cheers,
Uli
GREAT Duo!
You got a very rare version, with the Cross Hair, but now that you read the article, you know.
As for the Mark 11, it can be considered as a Military Chronometer, and I will soon explain why.
Bravo. It is a pleasure to welcome a Geophysic Fan!
Nicolas.

That was quite a bargain, actually. When you consider the other auctions results. [nt]
Inaccuracies?
If my Memory serves me right, they sold a ref. 24000-42 at the same time without mentioning the reference nor disclosing that the bracelet - which is an integral part of the watch - was made up.
At best they simply do not know what they are selling.

Late, but hopefully to too late.. A very nice post.. Of a seemingly rare but noble bird !
It is apparently a rare exception, with lots of
charm and noble beauty !
All Geophysics are rare pleasures - also
when I've been lucky to see & touch one..
Thanks for once more putting light into a
a bit mysterious Icon
Best, hs
Thanks, hs. I will try to post a compilation of Geophysics, one day.
The Watch is Worth some " noise ". 
Best,
Nicolas
