That is how we like them. How many Ploprof do you have, now? Best, Nicolas

I currently have two mk1's, this one and a mint example

I love this bold, and iconic design! Your watch has lived such a marvelous life! :-) Daos

A true toolwatch specifically made to be used under cretain circumstances and here you have the story behind, that's even better. Thanks for that story François
