I've got one on my Orange Monster too and it's a heck of a piece. Strong and well built. I really like the BIG look it gives the Ploprof, so it's more "balanced" top and bottom.
I picked up a very handsome Ploppy from a gentleman in jolly olde London and it's a joy to behold, but darn if I never wore it. Something about it was just...... off. Unbalanced somehow. So I was wearing a Pam 6154 with a lovely thick wide strap and realized part of its persona is that wide strap. I looked the Omega over and realized there was a big massive head and a comparatively puny shark mesh band. Plus the original clasp was a disaster to keep adjusted. The light came on. I went fishing in the eBay pond and came up with a 24mm by 190mm shark mesh band that's built like a tank and the clasp has a nice low profile. I fitted it up tonight and it makes all the difference in the world. Now I've got a massive band to counterbalance the massive head. It looks amazingly better and the clasp is a dream in comparison.
You mean this nasty old beat up 1675? No way... I can't take advantage of an old friend like that. The Yacht-Tona is irreplaceable and almost infinitely valuable. My 1675? Not so much.
That's not a bad looking case at all, and alligoat is right, it shouldn't be that pristine. That's easy to fix. The key is long thin lugs and a THIN case profile. Everything else is "close enough is good enough".
My God!!!!!!!!!! Right there, in the flesh..... I've heard the rumors but discarded them as nothing more than schoolboy fantasies.
A 5-liner black dial Yacht-tona? I would have scoffed that you were joking, but the photographic proof is indisputable.
All Hail the Yacht-tona! Your Great-grandfather was a man of means and discernment.
Thank you for sharing! Sorry, I'm feeling a bit emotional........
