    Marvellous. I would wear it under a cuff just for the hell of it and then have it live on my desk as a clock.

    The hands look newer than the dial.

    What is the case size without the crazy crown?
    It's just a matter of time...

    A full set you might say.

    Helmet (russian 3 bolt), correct dive knife and of course the watch.



    As for comfort - maybe out side of a wet or dry suit, but it still weights about 205g amd measures 60mm without the crown

    A monster you might say

    A few more pictures

    Andy ,

    The one in the middle is the Russian standard divers knife from yesteryear.

    Beast!!!


    I know the Omega put the crown on the left on the Proplof due to it's heft, nice to see this beast 'as is.'

    I had long time been looking for an original one.
    They have a fascinating history. The use of Radio for luminescence of the dial is a definitive demonstration of that.
