I much prefer the cross hair dial
It is more technical, which to me embodies the ethos of the Geophysic pieces
And frankly I have never preferred the aesthetics of dials where the hour and/or minute line markers traverse too far into the dial...one of my gripes with Lange's original Langmatik time only and time and big date pieces.
But that's just personal preference.
Congratulations for this amazing pair. If you ever have them open, please let us have a view under their skirts to intensify our lust.
Cheers,
John
