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 ...  

What a stunning beauty! :) OK, now I understand where you gor your crosshair thoughts from... Happy B-day, my friend! :) Best Blomman

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

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... 

And hope that someday, JLC will release such a beast! All the best, and thank you, my Aussie Friend. Nicolas

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 :))

and best wishes. Its not easy to wish you that piece, as honestly, i feel you deserve better :))

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

What a watch! If any watch is on my list for Santa, then this is it. --Sancerre

This will be my new nightmare now and the numbers are increasing. Regard Tyler

The problem is that this kind of watch may well be a lasting nightmare.... A very rare bird, my good friend. Best! Nicolas

I hope you get the Cross-Hair for your birthday, and everything else you wish for. That's a beauty! Best always, Robert

From the warmer climes! Dean

Happy birthday to you and thanks for the work done for JLC community pleasure.

Which should please to the Vlad I am, but go figure why I much prefer sunny days.... ;) Best, Nicolas

"JLC, please re edit this one". Outstanding watch and picture. Cheers and happy birthday, this one and many more to come, Nilo

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... 

Thanks for the words of encouragements, my good friend. Best, Nicolas

many more happy (watch) returns...enjoy and happy holidays to your lovely family!

This is a very nice and so rare configuration. And in a beautiful condition. Superb!

Of an absolute grail watch. I did not now about this dial variation so far. Thank you for showing to us! Best, Martin

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 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.... 

But I loved what you wrote about reduction and function. That is also a big part of the charm of this watch. Best, Nicolas

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

All the best, my dear Christian! Nicolas

I hope you enjoyed a great day! Felices Fiestas y todo lo mejor para el nuevo año! Un fuerte abrazo, Alejandro

Preparing my B.DAY, which was really amazing. All the best, Alex! Nico

I didn't know this dial version...these Geophysics are so clean, so pure, just beautiful! thanks for showing this! Matt

(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... 

We miss you, my friend. Come back soon, and all the best for a superb year to come, HS. Best, and... Thank you. Nicolas

Nicolas, firstly a late Happy Bday! Secondly, what a stunnng watch....10/10, it does not get any better! Best

Leave some nice ones for us, please! :) All the best, and thanks, RDL. Nicolas.

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... 

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... 

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... 

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

To fill my dreams. Thank you for this lovely picture and for your nice, patient and thourough teachings.

You see, dreams turn to nightmares sometlmes... Best, my friend. Nicolas
