You know, Richard
...seen at actual size, the watch appears to be almost new! The combination of lighting angle and a zillion times life-size view makes it look as if I've been out at the rock quarry with this piece.
I don't think I'll ever be inclined to sell this one, but if I do it won't be labeled LNIB, that's for sure...
Thanks for the compliment on the photo -- glad you liked it.
Best,
Gary
New look at an old favorite
I have been wearing this one quite a bit recently, as I have been doing business abroad and the Geo has real utility to me: As you can perhaps tell by looking at the case, I've been (lovingly) wearing this watch for almost 15 years (if memory serves! Can'...
Stunning photo Gary
As the scratches attest, a watch like this deserves to be worn regularly. Regards, Richard.

I will take it on as a challenge!
Thanks for the kind words, JMan -- getting a shot like this requires a fair amount of luck with lighting and camera placement -- suffice it to say that I clicked the shutter a lot of times to get this one! Since you asked, though, I'll try some more photo...
Here's one more photo for you, JMan
I spent some time playing around with the camera and watch, and managed to get a pretty good image of the reverse of the watch: Two fun things about this view: 1. The "Geographique" inscription -- none of this "Geographic" stuff! 2. The individually engra...
When I discovered JLC, some 20 years ago
I was not impressed by the Reverso, at this moment: Cool, but not for me. But, a bit later, I was smitten by 2 pieces: The Memovox, and the ... Geographique. I made a promise to myself that one day, I will get both. Well, I'm half the way, and still need ...
Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Nicolas!
I knew that you were a fan of the Geographique, but didn't know the story in this detail until now. We must definitely meet! I will be in Las Vegas in May -- meet you there? Best, Gary
Appreciate it, George!
Always a treat to strap this one on -- one of the real keepers in my collection. Thanks for your post! Best, Gary G
Stunning piece, Gary! :)
And photo! I love to see that your beauty shows signs of wearing. Nicks and scratches is a part of life… If a 15 years old watch doesn’t show traces of life – has it really lived? An interesting detail, “L.ANGELES”, on vintage WT’s JLC used “S.FRANCISCO”....
Interesting points
I wish this one said S. Francisco, as that's where I live! Tried to meet your request for further details with a new post above, and added a photo of the reverse of the watch. I'm getting to be very picky about which photos I'll post, and it can be a lot ...
Wow, that's a great piece.
Its successor, the black dial Master Geo is the one that brought me to JLC, about eight or nine years ago. Your looks wonderful on the pics. Thanks for sharing with us Gary. Goh
That black dial piece
...is very tasty indeed. Would love to see some photos! Best, Gary G
How nice.. Elegant for sure .. and such a friendly complication ! Enjoyable, :))
A mesmerizing face AND very nice back ! - I also love mine, though some years younger ( the geo- locations are on the bottom..) - For me, like Nicolas said ( me on a lesser scale of course): was my second JLC, still simply LOVE to wear and look at it .. A...
Thank you for the kind message HS!
Great to hear that you enjoy your watch so much -- I can imagine why! All the best, Gary G
Its a legend already, the original was one of the pieces that made me look at JLC more
great pic, and many more happy and healthy years for you and your Geo.. Best Imran
Thanks, imran
Agree with you on the wonderful tradition started by this piece! Thanks for your post. Best, Gary G
Appreciate it, Davo
Always great to get your comments and to see your posts. All the best, Gary
Attn: Gary
Is it rude to ask how much do you think your Geo is worth ? Thinking of getting one like yours!
What the diff.?
Tks Gary. Now can anyone tell what is the difference btw. the model with a reserve hour of 40 and the model that's 45 ? 45 hr reserve should be the newer model, right ? And the cal. is 939 etc as oppose to 899 ? Cheers
Nice pic Gary
And this old Master Geo embodies how the classics remain relevant. To be a little cliched, form and function are one here and that explains the time on your wrist. So much more elegant than the GMT arm craze that JLC's been on lately.
Very nice picture Gary, .....
I had its sister on my wrist this Friday and took a pic for the WristScan, mine hasn't got Denver on the dial though:) it's maybe a cousin after all:) Lovely, lovely watch and keeping the time so accurately. Kind regards from Down Under. Francois
