It is the RG version....
Thank you, dear HS!
Last year I was lucky to Geophysic pair!
I don't know if you have noticed, but some of JLC's watches from end 50's are not that "rose" inn the colour.
But if you look at this photo, compare the index on the YG dial in the middle whith the RG dial to the right you see the differance...
Best, my friend

Friday WristScan- The watch I want to be known by
My "trademark" watch. The Jaquet Droz Equation of Time. For many reasons, this is a very special watch. It was my first major purchase to celebrate the news that I was going to be a new dad. Also the gentleman from whom I purchased the EOT, introduced me ...
Surprising opening :)
I must admit :) I was quite sure that the other one from J*D placed peacefully on babies chest is the one Sincerely Damjan
Sacrifices...
The Paillonnee I purchased right before his birth...but the EOT started it all. Then when I had mad daughter, I reserved the Paillonnee for her. But then circumstances changed, I had to sell the Paillonnee :-( Thank you...especially for your postings whil...
Sad to hear that you had to let go
of that piece My daughter is mad as well :) In hope that we'll have J*D forum under your steady hand again I remain sincerely yours D
You just have to have faith that there are better things behind door #2
In my case I had to pay for medical bills...not for one but two (my "surprise" twins) Well worth the trade imho. As for J*D, I wish the best for the brand. Still very interesting stuff, but not the way I wished they would have gone. Best, Mike ...
One hair
of a kid is worth more than any timepiece ever out there Yes J*D lost some of flavor unfortunately and I think regarding departure of Mr. Emch anyhow you have great kids and they bring happiness / joy no timepiece can Yours D
Absolutely...
He had an artist's drive and focus. A lot of it was lost after he departed. I have no doubt that he was tired and mentally drained after running the brand. Glad to see him at the helm of RJ, where he has brought new life...to the point where now the desig...
Great choice, Mike...!
Yes, time passes quickly... You blink and it is nine years later! :) HAGWE Blomman
Thanks Blomman,
I was cleaning out the attic and found photos of myself in College... In hindsight I cannot believe that was 25 years ago. If only some of our watches could talk...I bet they would tell some interesting stories. Best, Mike
Here in the forum I am probably known by one of these...
Either 65.... Or 68 (67 ;))... But maybe I would prefer to to be known by one of these.... :) What do you think would be the best fit for me...? HAGWE Blomman ...
These are definitely you Blomman or should I say....
BlomoVlad?;) The Geophysic in white metal is better, the minutes hand on the yellow gold looks strange... on the picture! The Polaris 65 is gorgeous too. Perhaps in the future you be known for your GPs;) Cheers Francois from Down Under
Yes, the minute hand...
On the RG has been replaced. Need to find a good one. Thank you, my friend! Yes, who knows a couple of years from now people may know me by by some GP's...! ;) Best BlomoVlad
DSA... Yes, that crossed...
My mind...! But the choice between these pairs are already hard... Let's not make it more complicated, my friend! ;) Best Blomman
Nice match between your green sweater & the greenish indices on the Polaris, nice choice !
.. the Polaris 68 is always a great choice ! Wishing you all the Best and have a real great WE !! hs
The Geophysics, one of each wrist
Traditional, classic, vintage yet representing the best of its time. Times 2. I am sure you have the same personal qualitites :-) Best, Mike
Happy 4000 posts, Mike! :)
I just realized you have passed the 4K mark. Congrats, thank you for your great contribution here! Best Blomman
I see...pitiful :-) Nine years and 4 thousand posts
Need to be more productive :-) Best, Mike
I would be delighted to be remembered by any of these ...
... beautiful timepieces dear Blomman. Though if I would be able to chose a favorite, that steel Geophisics would be my choice! Have a great week end my friend! Very cordially, Abel.
Funny, but when it comes to the Geophysic...
I have always favoured the RG. Long before I found one myself! Thank you, dear Abel! Have a great weekend, my friend Best Blomman
Yes, Blomman!
It definitely must be a Memovox, and I think the pair of Polaris, 65 and 67. are the ones that I first associate with you. You know yourself well. ;-) Best, respo
Memovox...
Yes, I think that is unavoidable here in this forum...! ;) Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
Either of the 2 pairs .. Are simply perfect.. Polaris x2 & Geophysic x2..
.. How much better can it get ? - I tend to think, this is it, pretty much so ! The summit of the Divers/ Memovoxes on one hand & - Geophysic, the magic, the elusive - in two variants, on the other : SS & YG - In tiny, little envy, but veeery happy for yo...
It is the RG version....

Thx a lot.. The comparison pic makes that quite clear.. BTW..
.. I guess, the RG version is more desirable, anyway !.. - To double up the Geophysic - WoW !! .. That's perfect ! Therefore, even more sincere Congratulations - What a pair !! Again, my Best for this WE !! :) :) hs
Super nice post, Mike. My schyzophrenic nature put me in trouble.
Which one to choose, here... I really don't know. But, this week end, I will wear... This one! HAGWE. Nicolas ...
Stunning!
I love this JLC repeater, super sexy. I recently tried on and orange and black one... :) Cheers Andrew
Hahaha...
As if I would even ask ;) No it was a limited number of pieces of 6 or 8 I think... Will try and find the picture I took and put it on the forum. Cheers Andrew
Glad this was your choice,
Nico, This is the first of your pieces I remember from way back, that screamed Amanico... I can well imagine this to be a tough choice for you! Superb piece my friend. Cheers, Tim
This one is definetly one of the watches you are known by!
Who can forget the Audi front shot...?! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
Superb picture, all the essence of this piece.....
transpires through the photography. Bravo sir. Cheers Francois from Down Under
You...schizophrenic???
Who cares with watches like this! HAGWE my friend, Best, -- Richard.
Yes that's it!!
One that was expected and for many reasons absolutely appropriate Best D
I was waiting to see what you would choose to highlight
since this question is liking asking you to choose which one of children do you like best :-) But I think that JLC minute repeater was on my short list of what I thought you would pick...or the Freak :-) Thanks for participating even though it was tough, ...
Can't believe it... I was hestitating between the Freak, the Sonata and this Master Minute
Repeater! You know me well! ;) Best, Nicolas
Great choice my dear Nicolas, but for some reason...
... I was expecting to view some pretty GMT among your choices!! Lol! Well... no matter which brand or model of watch you chose, I am very sure you´ll always will be very nicely remembered by your family and friends! Have a great week end my dear friend! ...
I knew you would be a tough one on this topic
There are several JLC, UNs (Freak or Sonata) that I associate so strongly with you, Vlad, but I think you picked THE ONE. The MMR is so Vlad ever since the Lord of the Rings photo. Great choice for this topic and for your wrist today. Best always, respo
One of my all-time favourites from you.. In all your collection.. :))
.. MMR -Ti , Many unique aspects for me, also a concept piece, which makes you think makes you reflect, I trust ; One of those, I pls love to see again, touch again, when we meet next time.. )Thus, pls amend the "For hs to see" - List ) Thank you for this...
No trouble at all, Nicolas. You chose well, Counselor! That is one of my favorites,
from your collection, and among all! Best, CaliforniaJed
I ca narrow it to two, sorry
First the VC The complication, the colors, the elegance, the dial, the unique case The second for the romance and the German engineering, since I am an engineer and a romantic at heart Great theme Best, Joe ...
Impressive Joe, very nice duo indeed, that's about....
all you need really! Cheers Francois from down Under
I can see why it would be difficult. That VC is TRADEMARK
at least that is the one I will associate with you if I ever see it on another wrist! Warmest, Mike
I can see either or both of these, Joe
But, given all of our long conversations and the many times I have seen you and what is most often on your wrist when I do, the EP Malte Perpetual Chrono is the "Joe" watch for sure. But I also know how that Lange resonates with your personality and passi...
Guess it has to be...
Orange!!!! But which one... The one I wear most of the time I guess and hold many good memories... Cheers Andrew ...
Your orange obsession looks good, Andrew!
We all know that we will remember by the watches with touch of "orange" and good choice! Ken
Is this the new Hublot beetle? Have to take my hat off...
to Hublot, now they go for organic watches, environment friendly;) Cheers Francois from Down Under
Boken record
but you have winnings shots again :) That first is stunning What's in the background? ladybug is winner for sure Marvelous Cheers D
As always...
Thank you Damjan for your positive comments! Just trying my hardest :) The first one is with grips from my golf clubs... yes you guessed it they are orange too... Cheers! Andrew
I will never look at a lady bug the same way again
Of all the wonderful pieces you have in your collection, that was a surprise for me! Thanks Andrew, Mike
Keepers and The Company You Keep
Nice topic, Mike! I bought myself a watch when I learned my first child would be born, too! :-) But I am not certain there's a watch I want to be known by. How about this: I would want to be known by the community of which I am a part! In that spirit, may...
Good pick..
... great vintage are forever.... not to compete with the modern ones. Totally different world... Nice ones. Ken
Hi, Ken!
Of all the watches created in recent memory as reissues or re-imaginings of their original pieces, the Legend Diver is my favorite. A great, modern take on the original vintage -- reliable and affordable! It's a fantastic watch! Hope you are well! Daos
Hey, too!
Great to meet you here. Yeah, I got on the verge of pressing "enter" more than a few times about this re-issue - you know what I mean..... It looks that good - again, timeless design and great functionality.... So nice to talk to you, my friend! Ken
I miss you!
Find a reason to visit us again in LA! :-) Always good to "see" you, if only just virtually. Cheers, Daos
Double winning shot of this Community Watch.
In my book, the best modern Longines, by far. Best, Nicolas
I agree that it is the best Longines...
...since the original divers upon which the watch is modeled. I think the golden years of Longines, as far as my tastes run, were mid-'40s through the '60s. Cheers, Daos
i fully agree with you...
i fully agree with you Daos. although i dont own and have no need for the LLD. the non date model is a superb re edition. as you saw i posted a couple of re editions, both of which i really like...except for the dates. i think the 24 hour works best as th...
