donerix Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 great pics! I noticed you also wear on your right wrist...how is the crown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Only one I really like is the Rubber strap. Otherwise too much metal for the average sized wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 great pics! I noticed you also wear on your right wrist...how is the crown? Wears very comfortable on the right side. The crown doesn't bother at all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Mesh for sure. Suits the character of the watch best. Rubber is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
