Wow and congratulations
I've never seen this version of the Geophysic before and I must admit this is a real beauty!
Here's to your health Nicolas and thank you for the effort you put into this forum, it's really outstanding!
And yes, MJLC, you can also put me in the order books for a re-edition of the Geophysic.
Advent Calendar: Monday 17th of December 2012.
JLC Geophysic " Cross Hair Dial ". Because today is my birthday, and who knows, IF JLC reads us and if they wonder what to gift me for this special day, I have some nice suggestions... More seriously, even if I have the " normal " E 168, I would see this ...
Ouch!
What a stunning beauty! :) OK, now I understand where you gor your crosshair thoughts from... Happy B-day, my friend! :) Best Blomman
This classic and modern style from the late 50's
is really something that can be easily recognizable. That is style in its utmost level. And I wish you a happy birthday Nicolas :) Best, Mark
Happy birthday Nicolas! Thank you soooo much for.....
showing this beautiful watch, you may remember that this one was my favorite of the bunch you showed me when we met for the first time, love the dial and especially the hands, lovely, lovely watch! Also the good thing is....if one can find one in such a g...
You are too kind with me, Francois. Let"s keep our fingers crossed...
And hope that someday, JLC will release such a beast! All the best, and thank you, my Aussie Friend. Nicolas
Happy Birthday!
to you Amanico. I must thank you for the great work you are doing here. There is no way that JLC is going to thank you enough as well, other than making you wish come true :))
happy birthday!
and best wishes. Its not easy to wish you that piece, as honestly, i feel you deserve better :))
I arrive in the middle of the year
but its OK, as I am used to being late,,, Happy birthday bijo as well! Nice idea with the calander, perhaps it can materialize? Asi
This is my Daughter's idea, though.
I am afraid she caught the virus... As for this issue vof calendar, let's do something to solve it. ;) Best, Bijo, and thank you! Nicolas
What a nice specimen!
I hope you get your wish. :) A very Happy Birthday to a great guy! Best Fernando
Bon Anniversaire
What a watch! If any watch is on my list for Santa, then this is it. --Sancerre
It's your special day, can't you have some mercy. LOL
This will be my new nightmare now and the numbers are increasing. Regard Tyler
Birthdays are the most merciless days I know. :)))
The problem is that this kind of watch may well be a lasting nightmare.... A very rare bird, my good friend. Best! Nicolas
Happy Birthday, Vlad!
I hope you get the Cross-Hair for your birthday, and everything else you wish for. That's a beauty! Best always, Robert
Wonderful watch
Happy birthday to you and thanks for the work done for JLC community pleasure.
You are a lucky guy, Dean. We are freezing, here.
Which should please to the Vlad I am, but go figure why I much prefer sunny days.... ;) Best, Nicolas
We should open a campaign ...
"JLC, please re edit this one". Outstanding watch and picture. Cheers and happy birthday, this one and many more to come, Nilo

Thanks for the words of encouragements, my good friend. Best, Nicolas
Happy Bday Nicolas!
many more happy (watch) returns...enjoy and happy holidays to your lovely family!
What a nice gift for your birthday!
This is a very nice and so rare configuration. And in a beautiful condition. Superb!
An even more superb version
Of an absolute grail watch. I did not now about this dial variation so far. Thank you for showing to us! Best, Martin
Even more superb, that I don't know.
I long thought about that, and couldn't make my mind on that question. The best is to get both, I fear. But finding a cross hair Geophysic will be a very tough mission... Best, my friend. Nicolas
You got me
You are right. If I reconsider the dials with and without the crosshairs it is really hard for me too to prefer one over the other. You may have noticed that I have a weakness for watches and dials that are reduced to what is necessary for their function....
It is a question of time, my friend.
But I loved what you wrote about reduction and function. That is also a big part of the charm of this watch. Best, Nicolas
Belated Happy Birthday, dear friend
What an incredible dial!! I wasnt aware of the "cross Hair". I agree you could add it to the one you already own. Best wishes for the new year and may all your wishes come true. All good from Christian
That would be a dream. If I find two, one for you, one for me? :)
All the best, my dear Christian! Nicolas
Happy belated birthday, my dear Nico!
I hope you enjoyed a great day! Felices Fiestas y todo lo mejor para el nuevo año! Un fuerte abrazo, Alejandro
It was a superb day, my dear friend. My daughter spent a lot of time
Preparing my B.DAY, which was really amazing. All the best, Alex! Nico
Wow!!!
I didn't know this dial version...these Geophysics are so clean, so pure, just beautiful! thanks for showing this! Matt
A bit late .. But: From all my heart, :) :)
(A Double Oouch ! - 2 days late) Please still accept my sincere, although belated Birthday wishes, dear Nico !! And Yes, what a treat such a Geophysic is and always would be ! .. Very kind regards to you and yours, also for the remaining "Advent" - days M...
you were in our heads, when we had a small gathering a few weeks ago.
We miss you, my friend. Come back soon, and all the best for a superb year to come, HS. Best, and... Thank you. Nicolas
What a watch!
Nicolas, firstly a late Happy Bday! Secondly, what a stunnng watch....10/10, it does not get any better! Best
Don't tell me you are hunting one of these, too???
Leave some nice ones for us, please! :) All the best, and thanks, RDL. Nicolas.
No worries
No, since I was not even aware of the cross-hair version. But thanks to you I now am! But no worries - firstly, I am very torn: on the one hand, I do love cross-hair dials on some level, on the other hand, I am becoming more and more purist and prefer 'cl...
Thanks, RDL. I agree on many points.
But the most difficult, with a Cross Hair dial, is not to fund it, but to find it... Especially when it comes in such condition. Well, as for their value, the Patek 3417 is in the same range... It seems that all amagnetic ( manual ) watches are at the sam...
agreed!
Fully agree, I like how you say it: more difficult to find than to fund it! Definitely true, and the condition of the watch you posed is just incredible. And I also agree that amagnetic seems to have moved quite a bit (PP 3417, Geophysic, but also Omega R...
More regrets to not have bought than to have bought a watch.
That is the kind of question which helps me to make a decision, on all the watches I consider... ;) Now, I am also considering letting some go to be able to fund my long time hunted targets... I love that game! Best, Nicolas
Just before retiring to my apartments, a look at this beauty...
To fill my dreams. Thank you for this lovely picture and for your nice, patient and thourough teachings.
I would love to find anoother Geophysic, but with this dal, too. ;)
You see, dreams turn to nightmares sometlmes... Best, my friend. Nicolas
