Some live pics of the OMEGA Ploprof

May 21, 2009,03:01 AM
 

IMO, a standout of the new for 2009 models introduced at this year's Basel is OMEGA's Ploprof

Here's a pic on our Glashutte PuristSPro Moderator Dr. No's wrist....




In the pics I've seen previously,  the bracelet was something I didn't care for.  Boy was I wrong!!!  This bracelet is awesome!




The design and sturdiness of the bracelet is one of it's best features....great job Omega!








Very solid construction

HI Art Enquiring minds want to know. How did it feel on the wrist ? Very envious as i type this. Good Hunting Bill Sohne...  

My very short list of current large watches that I could comfortably wear . . .

. . . has a new addition ;-). In my opinion, the non-symmetrical design breaks up the subliminal sense of massiveness that the Ploprof objectively carries . . . yes, it's huge, but it doesn't seem out of place on my tiny wrist. If I can wear one comfortab... 

Don't know what to think on this watch

Really don't know. Its huge aspect, + the little Orange thing... Have to see it in the flesh before any definitive judgement. Thanks for your pics and post, Ming! Best, Nicolas

You'll be pleasantly surprised when you see it in person!

I like it and IMHO, the bracelet is winner. Nicolas, hope you get to see one and let us know what your impressions are. -MW

Looks like the same heavy mesh that is regular issue Omega

Was wearing my Flightmaster fitted with one today, in fact. See that for the Ploprof, they added a much needed deployant (the old mesh is hard to buckle). I will attest to how well the Omega meshes wear. Don't laugh, I accidentally installed the bracelet ...  

Nice flightmaster mrsnak! [nt]

I love your macros of the "shark-proof" mesh bracelet (a shark might just break a tooth on one of those things -- it's a pity they have several rows of replacement teeth ready to spring into action though!). I feel like I need to see this model in person.... 

Check it out when you can dxboon!

Hello Daos! Thanks for the compliments and looking. I have more Omega pics on the way. -MW

its a very good re issue of an iconic watch. very heavy to wear though

 
 By: G99 : May 22nd, 2009-14:53
as a divers watch it is perfect, as a 'street' watch i found it had problems. the street bracelet for it was similar to the flightmaster/speedmaster 1045 etc and didnt support it as well as it could have done. i should have changed to the mesh which, as i...  

Thank you, Ming!

I am very pleasantly surprised at the details of the mesh bracelet. But the best thing was that it looks great on Dr. No's wrist, and thus realizing that there is hope for the chicken sized wrist's out there, like myself, to wear this bad boy. Did they ga... 

Hello Alex...

Thanks for the compliment. I tried to show case the bracelet with my pics as IMO it's a fantastic design in person. I'm not sure of the delivery or if it is available yet as the rep assisting us there was not very well informed. It really bother me that s... 

Beautiful photos Ming!

Thanks for taking the time to take pictures of the Ploprof bracelet. Which version do you think works better on the watch? The steel bracelet version of the rubber strap version? I think this is one of the extremely rare cases where a watch looks equally ... 

My vote is for the....

Thanks Anthony! My vote is 100% for the bracelet. I wonder what others think? -MW

Putting that great mesh on a deployant?
