Why do I like this so much ? PloProf
I went to the Omega boutique, and tried this monster. I have no idea why, but I love it. Anybody daily driving one of these ? |

You like it so much because it is da bomb!
I fully intend to daily wear it when mine comes in. It wears so so much better than its dimensions suggest. Absolute brilliant watch. |

The gold one is especially nice, but the previous one with full like bezel is also phenomenal. |

With a great picture like that Omega should reward you with a handsome discount.

I went steel on steel, black dial/bezel. I like having the date, and I even like the date at 4:30. I’ll post pictures when it eventually arrives.

Love the ploprof! I think it’s charm is in the fact you can tell the design wasn’t made in committee for aesthetic/marketing reasons. Rather, design choices appear to be focused of maximizing the functionality of a tool. I like to imagine it was created with a bunch of engineers and professional divers sitting around a table. It just...works. |

Fully agree. There is a profond beauty to utilitarianism. My company builds a very large array of items, and some of them were made by the best engineers you could find, and are a thing of beauty. Surely beauty is not objective, and for some it’s a function of luxury and shine. While I love these, I also appreciate things that aren’t pretty, except for the intellect. It’s very hard for me not to get this Ploprof... |

I love that colour combination with the Titanium Ploprof so I’m not surprised you like it. I have the steel 1200m which I also really like, I own a Rolex DSSD JC which I guess is it’s natural competitor and although I really like the DSSD the Ploprof makes me smile much more when I’m wearing it.
The steel - which has the date unlike the titanium models - for me is the one to have as I like the heft and lack of a see through case back, it was also discontinued a few years ago and is starting to become collectable. |
