..for the Tribute 1958/ss; loved this one from the
first pics, even more in the real !
Have been wearing her on casual, but also with more fancy
occasions -- Still love that pretty cool appeal with the Crosshair.
- On my humble side, the Automatic movement is still ok,
and the pleasure comfort factor very high !!
If I am hunting the original - probably not, prize increases
too steep or bad conditions often
Guess, I'd rather wait to either along that
line something pops up ..
Without further ado, my chip checking in :
My Best & Have a great remainder Sunday

PS: Thx for your nice pictorial ! - No matter,
how often I have seen the "tile shot", always full
of ambience, mellow light & with a sort of magic
spell ..
- Thx for starting that Roll Call, my friend !!

Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic Roll Call!
I am curious to see how many of us own a Geophysic, original, or Tribute(s), in their collection.
There is one thing which always surprised me, related to the Geophysic.
Original or Tributes, you will notice every kind of reaction, from the true and unconditional passion, to the indifference.
Indeed, I know many collectors which much prefer the Mark 11, for example, or the Reverso, or the Deep Sea Alarm, or a " simple " Memovox E 855.
As for the Tributes, we had strong reactions against the Automatic movement, Cal 898 / 1.
While others love the coolness of these watches.
I am in the camp of those who are madly in live with the original, and who love the coolness of the Tributes.
For the moment, I " only " have the original, but with the 2 dials.
So I will only play Vintage... For the moment.
1/ The box:
2/ The most known dial:
3/ Crosshairs:
I will add some other Geophysics I had the opportunity to take in picture...
In the meantime, it is up to you, guys, to show your beauties!
Best,

The modern one:
The day of the arrival:
The gorgeous caseback:
A street wrist shot:
I need to retrieve it from the bank, take fresh pics and wear it more.

Your geophysic collections are superb...
Wear them in good health. Mine is still in manufacture...

I have the steel, " only ". But I am trying to find another one in steel, too.
For my " normal " dial. And, why not, a rose gold one.
Wish you will get yours back soon!
Best, my friend.

The modern Tribute is already lovely ...
... but the vintage Geophysics are breathtaking in their beauty and charm! Especially the one with crosshairs... truly to die for.
Nico, if I recall correctly you brought one of the vintage Geophysics when you were in Singapore last year?
If so, I can count myself lucky I have had the chance to see and handle one!

Yes, my steel, and a rose gold one, which belongs to a dear friend, in Asia. [nt]
