@ tafari,

yes i wear my watches on my right hand. that's why i avoid Pam watches with big crown guard on the left side, it's not comfortable. this Ploprof is ok.

Alas. It’s done.

I totally dig this new modern homage though. Lots of bang for the buck @ $300

It's the curse of watch guys... any cool model they already have gets a bronze update [emoji23]

I've even seen a Seiko Tuna homage made of bronze on Ali express. They sell the case sets by its own (of the Tuna, not the Ploprof)

and the price is more expensive than the SS model.

approx. 460usd for this bronze ploprof on steeldive website.

Bronze looks very interesting
"Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black."

I like it, but do they give the option of a black bezel insert instead? I also hear that that bezel turning feels a bit "hollow"....any feedback on this?

You can buy the insert separately

The bezel is ok on my watch :geek:
