PloProf 600 Vintage or current 1200
I have decided after much deliberation that I need a PloProf in my life.
I am torn between a used current one or a mint vintage one. Both are the same price give or take. What would you do?

This quote from www.ploprof.com is great!
"Does the PloProf ‘work’ in the modern world? Well… Women find it ugly and men find it beautiful! However, men do seem to be entranced by objects that are large, technical and contain blue and orange elements. There is a distinct air of industrial design about the watch that fits well with current trends."

of the Omega divers, the PloProf 1200 is my grail, although I know I can never pull it off :( (neither for its price nor size+weight)..but I would love to occassionally wear it and see it on all other days as a thing of sheer beauty 1200 ALL the way.

Well the debate has been settled. 1 cheeky offer later, seller agreed, so this should be shipped to me on Monday!

I didn't get the mint vintage one as you can see...
This just needs a bezel, which is about 450gbp. the saving was more than worth having to shell out for the bezel. This was the minter I was looking at - PloProf

I have a 7.25" wrist and it looks fine one me. Any wrist smaller and it may look off.
