I missed out on the very reasonably priced Omega Ploprof on Sales Corner this week (sadly).
However I've seen this on eBay and whilst it too is reasonably priced for the full set, there is an issue with the crown so I'd be getting it off for repair and service if I bought it.
My questions to the esteemed forum members are : has anyone had a Ploprof serviced recently and at what cost, or could it be a cheaper issue to resolve instead of going for a full service.

It could be that it's just had a ding off a door frame, they are a behometh on the wrist.Originally Posted by 100thmonkey
If you tap the end of a stick what happens at the other end!

Point taken
Mine was serviced this time last year and it cost £489.
agree to pass and if you take it to the repair center they might suggest you to do x and y and better z as well
Tbh the crown guard is a bit finicky to function at the best of times so the one for sale could be normal
If its knackered it is as alot are

I doubt very much mine is knackered thank you, It’s just me being ham fisted with it,unscrew a crown within a guard pull out setting within the guard its fiddly
The seller of that eBay one seems to know it has a fault. He refers to the crown not the crown guard, and is suggesting the crown won’t close without the crown guard being screwed in. It’s a fault and be prepared to be charged accordingly in addition to the service cost. Could easily cost a grand all in.
Plus being away for months at the service centre.
Actually just got mine out and had a look at the crown action and figured it out just goes to show how much it gets worn, the crown does click back into place prior to screw down with a press to the middle
