Thank you for the info, Nicolas.
Good for JLC and the Reverso and the Geophysic to get the recognision they deserve!
Bad for us who is trying to find the watches...
As for the TT Geophysic - IF JLC ever do a TT version...
PLEASE, please make in proper - no quick and dirty just to make some bucks!
Just my personal hope...
Best, my friend

Two confirmed stars: Vintage Reverso and Geophysic.
Ok, the International Movie Festival started in Cannes, with its pleiad of famous actresses and actors, but here, it is a bit different. It seems that for a while, now, some stars have reached the rank of recognition, in the Vintage JLC world. The Polaris...
And by "faithful," what do you mean, Nicolas?
Do you think JLC would be brave enough to do a tribute in the original size? Brave or foolish? The Polaris was lucky to have been issued originally in a modern size, so it was easier to remain faithful to the original in that re-edition. And JLC did a bri...
You got me well, Respo.
IF there is a Tribute to Geophysic, the question is about the size, and the movement. Giving it a " normal " movement is a sacrilege. As for the size, you put the dilemma in good words: Brave ( We are confident enough in our watch, our Patrimony, and in o...
I had not thought about the movement
But you are, of course, absolutely correct on that point as well. It cannot be just any movement inside. Yes, this will, or would, be a tough one for JLC. I still hope they do it! Best, respo
The Geophysic is another league, in terms of work and difficulty.
As JLC will have to start from zero, which was not the case for the TT Polaris, and half the case for the TT DSA. Indeed, we don't have to forget the dial, too, which is also very special. Let's see what they do, IF they decide to do it. Best, Nicolas
Is it possible?
In all cases, I would be interested by a Tt Geophysic as close as the original. But as you say, the caliber will be another league: I'm not a specialist but I don't see any modern manual JLC caliber which could be included as is. And what would be the pri...
IF....
You're right, IF JLC decides to release a TT Geophysic, they will, in my opinion, to create a totally new movement, a manual one, of course. What price? Let's first see IF they decide to make it, to turn our dreams into reality. Best, Nicolas
Of course...
I talked about price only because developing a new manual movement will have a cost and I'm afraid that retail price will be huge if they include it only in this tribute. However, IF they decide to do so, making a new chronometer, low beat rate, manual ca...
Delays...
What we know is that it took 2 years for JLC to release the Tribute to Polaris. Thar is a sure fact. And almost the same time for the TT DSA. As for the Geophysic, it is much more complicated, as you don't only need to create a new dial, but you also and ...
I'm joining the group...
... already full packed of people who whish a reedition of Geophysic. Obviously, this would be a very tricky project but I'm sure that JLC can achieve it with success. We already have the Tribute but what about a "new version"? Thanks for the news! Fx
What Tribute to Geophysic? The Extreme Lab II?
In my opinion, the weakest ponit of the E L II was to call it " Tribute To Geophysic ". I really didn't get why such a name on such a watch... While Extreme Lab II was more appropriate, in my opinion; once again... Best, Nicolas
A rivet bracelet for the Geophysic?
I didn't know Rolex and JLC share the same supplier A reedition would be nice if the original one is not available... I hope to see a Geophysic real soon. Regards Tyler

Glad to see such well recognition ...
Hope MJLC will reissue TT Geophysic soon. Stefan
We'll see, my friend....
We need more than one or two auctions to be sure that the Geophysic has reached its correct value. What is a correct value, by the way? I think JLC shoukld release a TT Geophysic,as it is an important part of its Patrminony, but not an easy one. See Ken's...
Tribute to Geophysic?
I'd love to see it, too. But I think it would be a difficult/complicated story to tell the public. And a difficult watch to faithfully reproduce. And a difficult design aesthetic to prompt broad appeal these days. If they did it, it would be a very confid...
Let's face it: The Geophysic is a watch for Connoisseurs.
It is a discrete watch whose subtle beauty and interest is inside, not too much outside. A commercial watch? I don't think so. BUT an indispensable watch, for the legitimity of the brand, for its recognition among the WIS. A refined dial, in a macho case,...
