I fully agree with the Geophysic being a watch for connoisseurs. Went to the boutique yesterday but the watch isn't there in the metal. I will have to buy before seeing if I wanted it, and this is something I usually don't do because I find that a watch is very hard to gauge when not felt and tried on. The MC felt perfect where comfort is concerned but didn't move me in the ways I thought it would. Perhaps too high and expectation, but I think it has something to do with the case. The MUTT cases are so nice and svelte I'm wondering why this one looks...well, old.
Still thinking. Looks like I might end up with neither at this time and buying without seeing is not an option for me, and the feeling wasn't fully there. I have a few days before the boutique releases the availability to someone else. Will keep you posted here. In the meantime, I will continue to wait for my favorite Reverso GT to return from service.

This is the first time I see the definitive version of this Watch. Well, it is identical to the last protos I've seen before its unveiling, to tell the truth. But, since then, I didn't have the time to see it. When you own the vintage, you first have to g...
Versatile too--

I keep thinking of these now! :) Steel or RG ? Hmmm Think steel is nicer. Love the cross hair dial and vintage look of the Geophysic, not to mention its technical prowess. Thanks Nicolas and Abel for this post! :) Cheers Robin ...

Under the radar and noted by few. I'm just waiting for a CF strap (the original is a tad stiff for me). Cheers, Nilo ...

The Geophysic was not in store so couldn\'t see but the MC feels very nice on the wrist, as most have attested. Didn\'t pull my heart strings hard enough so decision not made yet.
Thank you for your insights.
