OSRep Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hey MilSub. Congrats on the new PloProf. Thank you for sharing your insight and pics. Overall quality looks good (bar that 12 o clock marker, which I hope you get replaced/fixed). The micro adjuster on the strap probably feels the same as the one on the Breit Ocean Racer...... Marks out of 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gran Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 By looking at the pictures i see no reason why this should not be water resistant, i would not be surprised if it could pass 200m or more with out problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinamm20 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 yes lets hope that beautiful Mrs King is correct about all of those extra goodies...she is a great seller so lets see yes she is great and have a top notch customerservice - but she is in the claws of the suppliers - so i guess that she only have their word for it. i really hope the functional pushbottom will work, i want that watch i it so different from the other watches i have so it would be a great addition to the collection - and yippi as a newly divorced i do not need to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Mmmmmmm very nice. Is it 24mm lugs? And who is going to be first to do a mesh band comparo here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 If I get mine I will put on a 24mm (4.2mm thick) mesh bracelet on it....I ordered an orange rubber race strap as well, just for fun. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The gen mesh band is pretty thick and substantial I have never seen an after market one of any where near that thickness, it would be a massive step forward if the rep makers would rep it!

maxman Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Thanks for sharing this with the community. I would ask you a few more questions but Im sure you have had enough for now Let me get this straight. There Is a 21j version for around $125, then there Is a Asian copy 2836 version for around $228.00. Then Andrew released a Swiss ETA 2834 version a few days ago for $278.00. Does this sound about right so far? Is there a 4th model to be expected, holly [censored] Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 And soon there will be mods and frankens around too I dont remember this much Interest In a rep In some time. Maybe the factories will start delivering more of the same,we can only hope Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franke Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Thats a massive piece of steel. My god, it must weight a ton! The main issue on this will be the rubber band. It WILL break. All china rubber bands are crap, more or less. Du menar alltså att knappen inte påverkar ringen alls? Är det en helt vanlig dykar ring alltså?

highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 this actually looks like a really good rep. played with the gen at the AD many a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdkno Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have been looking for info with no luck so I figured I would ask the question here. I had heard the gen has a jumping hour hand. Does anyone know if the gen hour hand jumps while setting only or while running? In other words if the gen jumps from 1 to 2 while running then if the rep hour hand was between 1 and 2 it would be pretty easy to spot. More so than the non functional button or the clown feet logo.

If anything, it definitely does not jump while running since you see pics of the watch where the hands are between the number indices. Not sure about setting though, but I would say it doesn't either. Only quartz and the Automatic GMTs tend to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the gen's hour hand can be set independently of the minute hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 The gen PloProf has an indipenditely adjustable hour-hand to adjust the watch to different time-zones without moving the minute hand. The rep does not have this feature....not a big deal though. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
