    Summer fun... Big and bright

    Couldn't resist this new old stock Ploprof. Big and bright. Nice to take stickers off a 'new' watch again. Been some time as most now already have them removed by the dealers.

    Comes with massive white strap, but picked up the orange from TZer (thanks!). Definitely something for for the summer and maybe beyond with working from home. Wears very easily.

    Congrats Alun, that looks absolutely great! Is this Ti or steel? I've said this many times, if I wore watches on my left wrist I'd have picked up a plopprof years ago. Really works with the orange strap too!

    Can’t see how that can be worn comfortably on that wrist.

    Hi J. Cheers. It's steel. I did see a number of comments that the Ti is too light. I'm open to a Ti in time though if the bug bites.

    Looks great, and a watch I've always fancied, did you get any pics of it on the white strap before the swapover?

    Love it, and the orange strap is a patrician choice

    Great watch, love the Ploprof - an itch I will scratch at some point no doubt, especially on the rubber.

    Sorry, I didn't. Was planning to get it onto white pretty pronto, but the orange works so well that I'll leave it for now.

    Wow! I wasn't initially sold on the white bezel, but that's hell of a lume shot!

    Beauty and the beast all in one.

    Absolute cracker on that white strap.

    Having just picked up another Ploprof I now have a mesh to try this on....

    I think it prefer it on rubber, but it does give an option.

    Another Ploprof is in da house...

    Oh dear. Something addictive about these.

    The titanium ones are so much more wearable and I love not having a date.

    Oh dear indeed. I love them without the date, didn't really want to hear they're much more wearable.

    Did you buy new or manage to find one elsewhere? The price is eye watering.

    One day...

    Lightly worn... Hard to find these out there just now, as Omega has paused production (so I'm told).

    Both this and the grey dial were pre-owned but both as new (2019 and 2018 respectively) - so seem to wear well.

    Very nice. The black dial Ti is my favourite. The lack of date is a big plus IMO.
