Pugwash Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 hello fellas , does any of our guys ever made this vintage omega with ss mesh band ? thanx ..2005sub People have been demanding the rep factories make this model since before I arrived on the scene. There are some counterfeit ones available from IIRC Vietnam, but they're sold as genuines to unsuspecting chumps.
2005SUBMARINER Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Posted August 1, 2009 man i would love to buy that watch .. yesterday i saw the gen version on a friend & made me want this rep badly man the mesh ss band is awesome ..
ubiquitous Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Not on a mesh band, but I do have a gen... Great watch; all original example with some wabi. Easily one of my favorite purchases (local deal, so I got to inspect prior to buying; not bad for $600).
redwatch Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 There is one on the bay which can be found here. Seems a little off to me though. Seconds hand looks completely wrong for this era and the watch looks too new for 1966.
ubiquitous Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 That one is all wrong. I observe: -Bad bezel -Wrong 6/9 on the dial (they're only partially open, with the majority closed. Compare to mine above) -Bad dial font -Incorrect Omega logo -Stubbies -Incorrect hands -Case does not look too good Only upside is that it has a gen 552 movement inside. This is one of those Vietnam examples...
smc Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 You can get the mesh NOS from the WUS omega forum prefferred AD. You have to search and ask for contact info. That's where I got mine for my gen newer electric blue SMP.
FxrAndy Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 i know where trhere is a mint gen for sale pm me for details

Pugwash Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 would love this rep man Ploprofs are another that's been in demand since forever.
chris5264 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 I NEED the omega mesh....looks great on the electric blue.....but one thing.....seems that I can't get it for a 7.5 inch wrist....would love to put it on my electric blue...looks great... as far as the vintage goes.....one my list for a LONG time,,,
2005SUBMARINER Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Posted August 3, 2009 ANDREW told me soon there will be a Ploprof... rep comming out just hope he offers it with a ss mesh band .
Pugwash Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Sign me up for a Ploprof... Yeah, I said it first. Firsties! Dibs! Bagsies!
ubiquitous Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 ANDREW told me soon there will be a Ploprof... rep comming out just hope he offers it with a ss mesh band . *pants tighten*
docblackrock Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 It'll be the reissue Ploprof, but my god if they do that right it'll be the most gorgeous beast since the PAM 187 I must admit though having had more than a glimpse of the gen, the new rubber strap and deployant is gorgeous and would be my preference over the old 'sharkproof' mesh bracelet.
ubiquitous Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 I'd love it on the rubber strap with deployant; should one want the mesh, it shouldn't be hard to get Agree, Doc. This could be one serious beastie
Pugwash Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Mrs Pugwash likes it, too. Hurry up and release it!
2005SUBMARINER Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Posted August 4, 2009 this is going to be one bad MOFO watch ! puts the deepsea to shame My link
ubiquitous Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 It's definitely got the potential to be a serious chunk of metal. Just hope they get this one right...
docblackrock Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Black rubber deployant will be my choice of Ploprof... Although on the wrist, the orange has a certain 'something'....
smc Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 For the Omega mesh, I had to get an "extender" (it's an OEM part that cost $50) to make it fit my 7.5" wrist. You can sort of see it here... not the best pic Forgot to mention. This is by far the most comfortable, bulletproof strap I've ever worn. The clasp is a work of art (ok maybe not as good as the new Rolex ones, but it's close)
