a beautiful shot of a beautiful pair..I admire the taste of people who wear the PloProf ;) both wonderful watches warm regards, Asad

Thank you, Asad. Yes, the Ploprof can be a bit challenging visually.

I wore it quite regularly since I bought in 2009 and stopped doing so in 2011 when I got the POC 9300. Comfort is different with the latter being a bit easier on the wrist, especially around the bracelet. But I think the main reason for me is that the Plo...  

Another wonderful shot

Are they out for a swim? Best, respo

Surely they were! But the swim was brief because water was...

...exceptionally and uncharacteristically cold. Winter in Thailand is very short typically and doesn't come at all in some years. This year is different. It is much colder for much longer than usual. I even had to wear a jacket when I came out to take the... 

Perfect place and pictures ...

I envy you for being able to go to this wonderful place and I hope that the Thailand problems go to be solved soon. I would love to return to the "land of smiles". Cheers, Nilo

I hope the same as you do. But if I were to be realistic, I must allow for...

...the possibility that the trouble will continue on and off for years to come. Fortunately for locals and tourists, there are always windows for safe visits. It's just that long-term plan is difficult now because prediction of when things will flare up i... 

Omega PloProf a vintage perspective.

I love your picture with your 1200 in the right setting. A little vintage perspective. A very special mint version. Bill ...  

That is one very clean specimen.

I always like to follow your Ploprof pics. Thank you for joining this thread with yours. Ruckdee

Almost as clean as the day it came out of the factory

This Omega PloProf 600 lived with one collector all its life and was never abused. In some cases it is nice to have a true original condition watch as a reference to confirm what came with a watch, parts reference number bezel etc. The chain of ownership ... 

Stunning pair

I really like the Pro Plof but I like more the PO Good Planet! the dial and bezel are exquisite, it looks like the so called "High-End" Brands. Thank you for share thus marvelous photo Ruckdee. Best, Armando

You're welcome! The PO GMT GoodPlanet gradually grows on me with time.

Let's say, I liked it on the scale of 7/10 when I saw the promo pic from Baselworld last year. Then, when I got it, I was relieved the orange was not overpowering, the scale became 8/10. It finally became 9/10 after I brought it out to the real world and ...  

That's the hallmark . . .

. . . of successful design; the keepers in my collection all share that same attribute. Thanks so much for sharing images and thoughts with us, Ruckdee. One of these days, a modern Omega will be on my wrist, too. Cordially, Art

I am very glad to be able to contribute once in a while. And I noticed that...

...once again I am given the honor of having my photograph up on the masthead. Thank you very much for that. It is a very special place indeed. Ruckdee

What a view!!

What a treat to look a this picture, Ruckdee! I was actually recently wondering when we would be able to get a glimpse at those turquoise waters and your heavy metal in action, and here comes a fantastic shot that only makes me miss the beach even more. :... 

Sorry to keep you waiting. I missed the beach myself.

And last year trips were all far, far away from one. The poor PO GMT had to wait seven or eight months for this trip. Thank you for your kind words and, yes, let's work hard! Ruckdee

You prompted me to look and now I have discovered that...

 
 By: Ruckdee : January 28th, 2014-23:20
...another pic of the PO GMT was selected for that place of honor. Thanks again! Ruckdee

Beautiful photo, Ruckdee! :)

Hope you had a great "timeout"! :) Best Blomman

It was short, not the best but still very, very loveable.
