@ 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 Image

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)

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
