They made some for people who wear the watch on the left wrist.

You can rotate the dial with this movement, but not the date. You need a special datedisc for this version.

Not that many made, looks original because of the silver datedisc. Some mod their ploprof to left wrists, to earn more money, but they usually have a newer white datedisc.

Silver, Black and White date discs are all still available.

on second thought, one would not have to rotate or do anything to the date disc or aperture, so you CAN rotate the dial without any consideration for date...wow..that probably is a rotated PloProf...very cool

Quite weird !!!
Not sure the lock key for bezel is easy to use in this position, but then it looks quite unusual and special.

Those are the most original hands I've seen on an Omega so far, I like it! Congratulations and wear it in good health!

Suzy Cruisy · 31 October 2011, 09:10 AM

Looks great! Do you have a wrist shot?

wwwatches · 31 October 2011, 10:33 AM

Thanks for replies.

I like this piece.

wwwatches · 1 November 2011, 08:52 AM

I do wear the watch on my right wrist.
Actually I had a chance to choose between LEFT and Right models and this one fits me better.

FeelingTheBlues · 1 November 2011, 10:20 AM

Thank you for those wrist shots Mike, it fits you very well!

wwwatches · 1 November 2011, 10:43 AM

Thanks Carl.

Looks good Mike!!

The PloProf was only ever issued to be worn on the left wrist with the crown on the left.

The date disc is specifically made for this application. If the watch has been changed to have the crown on the right, the date disc from any normal watch with cal 1002 is used, it is the crown on left date disc that is unique to this model.

If you like it like that, its all that matters, but I just wanted to make it clear that there was NO right handed version made with crown at 3pm

From Omegas own information-

As this model's dial can be shifted by 180 degrees, sometimes these pieces can be wound up incorrectly during repairs by a careless repairer or who mistakenly thinks that it is done correctly by positioning the crown at three o'clock.
