I am fortunate to have one of each (steel, YG, RG)...but no cross-hair, so even that theme is still not complete

Here is the Geophysic which reached the sky during the last auction.

Credit picture: Antiquorum. Which went for.... 52500 CHF, including buyers premium. Which makes a good 45 K Euros. It has already been said, but at this level of condition... The other interesting things are that " Crosshairs " dial and the original plexy...
Beautiful ...

Picture already on my machine. Thank you for introduced to me and several here, the wonders of the Geophysic. Cheers, Nilo
Wow! That means the end of my search for a vintage example!...

... This price will put this watch in a high niche definitively out of my reach! Glad I got the present version which, lacking the same charme of the vintage, is a lovely sexy and cool watch which I m loving more and more! Interesting info Nicolas! Un abr...
Wow. Those are the expensive seats......

Not all that surprising I suppose, as the prices on desirable vintage timepieces in wonderful condition have skyrocketed over the past few years. This is a beautiful example, and somebody obviously really wanted it. Darren
Don't give up so easily, my friend.

If all the Geophysic go for a price range between 30 and 45 K Euros, in tis case, well, maybe, but I suspect it is not the case, not still.... Best, Nicolas
Interesting development....

On the other side, you are close to the final countdown.
By: amanico : November 13th, 2014-08:48
As you have two SS, you can trade one for a YG. So, it will be three different Geos.... Then you will miss the De Luxe, which is, well not very enthusiasming, and the Cross Hairs.... Which is problematic. Best, Nicolas
A question...
By: watchme : November 13th, 2014-05:28
who was the final buyer? Did JLC pull a PP move and "pad" the auction? PP started padding auctions back in '97, simultaneously presenting the "You never actually own..." ads. Over the next 10-to-15 years, PP needed to do this less and less, as they had go...
Good point Dean ...
By: eklektik : November 13th, 2014-08:48
... very good point. Which makes me think that "affordable" used JLC watches will mean used watches that are 10-20 years old max and that anything older will be at a very high price...
No, high prices are not the rule, for vintage JLCs.
By: amanico : November 13th, 2014-08:53
Which Vintage JLC reached a high price? Polaris, Deep Sea Alarm, Reverso ( some colored dials ) and the Geophysic. And, once again, it has to be relativized, and compared to vintage PP and Rolexes.... The rest is quite affordable, but it may change a bit,...
If they are padding, they seem to be doing it unevenly

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and relatively new to JLCs. It seems if they are padding, they are doing it unevenly -- Bonhams in London sold a YG Geophysic two days after Antiquorum for £5,250 best regards Tim
Superb watch ...
By: eklektik : November 13th, 2014-08:45
... which makes me contemplate vintage watches with another look. However, the price is way beyond the limit ... Thanks Nico!
Wow! Sky high price indeed!

The market has spoken for this legendary watch! :) Now should I get the modern one since I cannot afford this vintage one?! Cheers Robin
Maybe yes...
By: RG1 : November 19th, 2014-18:44
or maybe no, will see then.... Now, I miss Paris, need to come back again for another cup tea haha Best my friend:-) Regards, Ronald
