Nice pick up! I had a steel Ploprof for a while, still crosses my mind that I should pick up another. Great choice and a very fun watch, enjoy it!

Despite having a tiny wrist, I still enjoy wearing mine. Surprisingly comfortable.

Good to see this threat resurrected, I’m a long term Ploprof owner, it’s always been one of my favourites, for me the steel version is the one to have due to the sapphire bezel insert and date plus I love the 280 grammes of heft which is part of the character of this watch.



Lume picture from the web.

Wow, you jumped in head first.

That watch has to be seen in person to appreciate.

Congratulations.

I've always been intrigued by the Ploprof, but haven't taken the leap yet. It's fun to see the wrist shots!

It’s good to see some Ploprof love as it seemed like people had forgotten it, one of the most iconic divers for me, I also own the JC DSSD but the Ploprof is the one I enjoy wearing the most.

I only have noticed one in the wild, it looked actually very nice and bold on that guy wrist.

Congrats for all owners who dare to have this on their wrist!

Its a beast and unique. I walked into the omega boutique a few months ago wearing my Ploprof and the sales rep asked “what kind of watch is that”.

Always wanted to try the White dial version, looks stunning, great pictures.....

All those folks expressing surprise that we actually wear these Ploprof’s should try one on, they look heavy/uncomfortable but they are surprisingly wearable and comfortable.

Cool diver, and from looking at your arm, you can take it diving. Sharks won’t bother you!
