The PloProf for the regular guy

[donerix]

Of course I would rather have the "real" PloProf - vintage or the re-issue would be fine.

But realistically it's not in the budget.

So while waiting for the long-promised rep to finally appear out of the murky waters of Ghangzouh I found this Ocean7 LM-7 on WUS and just had to engage.

Once unpacked I couldn't wait to check out different strap and bracelet options. To be honest - I somehow like them all and each one gives the watch a whole new character.

So now i am asking for your opinion what you think looks best:

1) On a Stainless steel Oyster-style bracelet:

Turns it into a real chuck of steel

2) On a Lonestar Mesh (I have a thicker mesh with double flip-lock coming which might be better):

This was my original idea for the watch, but with a looser knit mesh like the original Omega

3) On the Ocean7 original rubber:

I don't usually like rubber straps, but this one is really comfortable

4) On a Vintage Tenente Limited Edition strap (borrowed from my Egiziano):

A bit of a change to the original feel of this dive tool

And here a few more shots:

The dial changes color depending on the angle of the light:

The lume is really bright:

Mesh mesh mesh!

But the Vintage Tenente strap is way cool too!

Congrats on the new addition! It's really an awesome watch. I keep mine on a mesh and it works like a charm. Enjoy!

great pics! I noticed you also wear on your right wrist...how is the crown?

Only one I really like is the Rubber strap. Otherwise too much metal for the average sized wrist.

Wears very comfortable on the right side.

The crown doesn't bother at all....

Mesh for me too.

The mesh has great character.

First i tought mesh but the leather is growing on me... Can't go wrong with mesh though!

[maxman]

I like the mesh but the leather is also very nice, win win

[krpster]

Mesh for sure. Suits the character of the watch best. Rubber is a close second.

Mesh without a question. I don't know how they wear but it sure makes it look much better. And it probably protects the wrist when you are fighting the sharks lol.
