for $350 bucks with 1200m depth rating (to be confirmed) with the bezel lock mechanism, i'm not complaining too much with the Steeldive version.

from the pics, case build quality looks decent enough.

Helson had a similar Ploprof watch some time ago. anyone got it? The Helson was a monobloc case design like the original Omega Ploprof.

Super enjoying this this first video right now.

Thanks @Leeyewfei !!!

The Ploprof and sea dweller will always be my two favorite watches of all time.

My friend, it’s almost done being restored. It’s still with me and can’t wait to get it on the wrist. There a seat belt buckle mesh bracelet and Omega rubber ready for it

I had one, Lee. Amazing watch. Never wore it enough and had to move on to the next project so I moved it on. Still miss it.

This one had a mischievous history as some of you may remember. Built by a dirty former member.

A guy in MD, USA. He had a stock one, sold it and regretted selling. Saw the Omega version and bought it when I posted it.

finally landed on my wrist. great value for money ($300) for this watch with lots of weight. fits well with the rubber strap too!

@ Emilio, I tried asking but they don't wanna sell the spare dial to me.
