.. guess, one cannot really put these two into the same pot,
somehow like apples vs pears !
On my personal level, by having both ( plus the TT DSA-US, in addition),
it cannot be the same decision
and if you even take , let's say the TT Polaris '68, you have 3-4 lines of TT's,
- Each group having their special appeal, but also their DNA & historical context.
1/ To me, the TT DSA is more tool, with the DNA to a historical Diving watch, without
having all the robust diving-related features, than eg. a Rolex Sea Dweller or modern Submariner.
- The DSA is more a clear hommage to the development of diving watches, with beautiful
details. - Yet still, practically no-one will take it for diving, maybe not even for swimming..
Thus, she is a link between important JLC- horological contexts..
2/ the (TT) Geophysic - which I also happen to happily have - is a hommage
to a completely different idea:
She is between very dressy ( if needed), sober but sophisticated, elegant but casual as well, reminding
to her historical,importance to the Geophysical year, and the original Vintage Geophysic,
- although she will not and should not pretend to have the same role.
The hommage- element of the current Geophysic 1958 is much more sublte,
more refined, something very classy..
- A fine watch - a very fine watch . Not more, not less !
Thus, for me, there's not an either - or, but rather both for their specific context,
- and that could maybe change, from wearer to wearer, as well..
I would even say, let us be happy, for having such nice TT's,
Paying hommage, but not and never, attempting to replace or even compete
with their heritage role- models..
- Just my little 0,02 cents
Best, hs
.. with the known exception for our Nordic friend !!
Continue to wear her in the Best of your health !

My favorite Tribute...
use to be the DSA. Now I'm not so sure.
What do you think?
Thanks for looking and for letting me divert your attention away from the excitement of SIHH to something more mundane.

Polaris 65 sure looks good!
I can understand your choice. Would that be the first TT done by JLC I wonder?
Thanks Blomman.
cheers

I think it was the first called "Tribute To"....
But re-editions JLC have made several times.
Like the re-launche of the Reverso back in 1983...

With the Polaris. Unveled as protos in Nov 2008, and delivered in 2009. [nt]

Yeess.. Sadly, that's the one I've missed /ss.. AFAIK, was Paris Boutique Edition, but..
.. with the known exception for our Nordic friend !!
Continue to wear her in the Best of your health !
Best, hs
I also missed the Boutiqe edition....
If right numbers comes up and the timing is right, I will go for that one as well!

The Geophysic is so beautiful and pure ...
That I'm keeping mine as a "safe queen".
Shame on me.
Beautiful pair.

Tempted ...
Fernando (my brother's name),
I'm tempted but with 38C outside (100.4 F), I don't dare to drive to th dungeon.
Let's see if the weather cools a tad.
Meanwhile, only the "expendables" (some aren't) on the wrist.
Cheers,
Nilo
Woah hard to choose !!
2 tributes to 2 icons!
I prefer the dial of the Geophysic between the 2 so will pick that
Cheers
Robin
Yes Robin.
The dial and the size, so perfect for my wrist has got me hooked.
Maybe it's the new kid on the block but time will tell
cheers

TT DSA, for me. But that doesn't mean that the TT Geophysic is not dign of interest! [nt]

Such a lovely pair.
Practically a full collection in just these 2 pieces!
Thanks for the photo Fernando!
as a tribute to deepsea european owner....
my vote is for this one. i adore that watch. when i bought it, i was really in doubt beetween the deepsea and the polaris. but the deepsea was the one that i was looking for and the one that in the end i liked the most. but the geophysique is really a nice watch!
regards
A more versatile watch than the Polaris, indeed. Enjoy yours, Cesar. [nt]
