Guest avitt Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I consider Jimmy Fu to be a pretty pretty legit collector. There may be a Proprof rep on the horizon, but I doubt that this one had a part in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 The real backstory here, Lani, is that once you have that PloProf, you won't need the Ubiflake any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 The real backstory here, Lani, is that once you have that PloProf, you won't need the Ubiflake any more. it's being fitted with a gen 2784 Tudor movement.. and a crystal ring for the gen bezel.. so all that is needed is a gen case..Ubi jokes with me about that.. but who knows.. I thought the Ploprof was common knowledge. the gen was secured some time ago for dissection.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 LOL. I've been waiting for 5 years to see one of those gens they secured. Thnks Lani!!! Yes we know how this go, let Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Personally, I wish they would rep the original.I think it's a lot cleaner and better looking watch. Just my personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Very cool. Can't wait! You gonna "dive in" on this one first Lani? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSRep Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 fo Real!!!! I thought you all caught it in another thread that I posted in ?? but yuppers.. just waiting .. camera standing by.. 2010 is certainly making up for 2009 delay's but you know how the rep game goes.. nothing is written in stone.. but hopefully very, very soon.. Oh my goodness, this will be brilliant! Its the first ive heard of a Ploprof rep, still dont believe it Havnt seen your other thread either Lani, will need to go look for it now and do some reading. Look forward to your pics and expert review. Thanks brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Personally, I wish they would rep the original.I think it's a lot cleaner and better looking watch. Just my personal opinion. One I agree with. Regretably the old gen would be a little expensive to buy and pull appart for a "Made from Gen" model. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I don't know boss,the old Ploprof's are going for around 5.5-6.5k and a few are languishing on the genuine forums for a long time before they are pulled or sold. I saw one on WUS sales forum a month or so back that had an amazing provenence. Watch was given to a scientist,Here's the story: This is a one-owner, Type III-dialed Seamaster 600 from appx 1972. The watch was originally purchased as a gift for a marine biologist with the Office of Naval Research (NOAA). At the time that the watch was purchased (1972), he was just retiring as the Assistant Secretary for Science of the Smithsonian Institution. This watch was worn daily up until the time of his death, in March of 1985. It was then retired to a drawer never to see the light of day again until late 2007 when I purchased it from his son. Watch is in incredible condition, and the seller was looking to get 5900.00 USD, and it didn't sell. Also saw an almost new 1200m "new style" on WUS for sale at 5975.00 USD, so the prices are pretty much the same. It would just depend on whether or not the rep manufacturers thought they could sell anough of the vintage to make money. One thing, the ploprof in either variety is a special sort of watch. It certanly wouldn't appeal to everyone. I have an Ocean7 LM-7 Ploprof, and it's a massive hunk of stainless! I would think that these would be pretty limited appeal watches.

MasterOfPuppets Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Why do i feel like this is gona be the next 007 watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronos twin Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Good call, MOP. I can already see Bond hashing it out with a killer Great White (mesh bracelet and all), after which he adjusts his Valentino tie 100 feet underwater.

MADRED7 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Waiting is sooo hard....just asked my deale this weekend about the Ploprof.....what did I expect? I knew the answer: "no info yet Sir." That can mean anything from tomorrow to next year! WAITING........ shouting, praying, paying.

thogaa Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Another two weeks and it is supposed to be out. Josh is the first one to have it I'm sure. Here's a vid of the gen.

FxrAndy Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Good call, MOP.

Na to big and brash for bond but can imagine the gadgets Q could build into a case this size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
