MADRED7 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Dear All, over the last weekend I did some pics of my new PloProf on a different straps. I had the watch on my wrist during a shower and cleaning the kids hair in our tub. So my watch got wet several times and I have no issues so far, cross fingers for the future! Before I got the watch I bought a new divers strap, an orange racer-strap...very thick quality. And I attached a mesh bracelet that I got last year for my SOH...also nice one but I prefer rubber. For the moment I did not mount the "original" black rubber and clasp as I have an issue with the clasp (extension sliding and a little part from the inner push-button came loose). Enjoy the pics anyway, cheers Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 The orange racer is from www.watch-band-center.com and the mesh was bought directly from the factory I visited last year (Staib). Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Another vote for mesh. Although the orange rubber looks not too shabby as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Love it on the mesh! How does it compare to say... A Panerai, or AP ROO with regards to size/wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_S Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 The mesh looks gorgeous and just perfect with the ploprof! I bet it's mega comfy too, sure looks to be with being so thin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Love it on the mesh! How does it compare to say... A Panerai, or AP ROO with regards to size/wear? Ubi, the PloProf is a chunk of metal, no question. But it wears quite nice and similar to a PAM on bracelet. The ROO on bracelet looks a bit bigger although the dimensions of the watch are smaller with 42mm. If you can pull-off a Skyland Avenger you can deffo wear this Omega. For the mesh....my mesh bracelet is 3.8mm in thickness and I do have a socalled ARTUS mesh bracelet from a Jorg Schauer watch witch is 4.8mm in thickness. The size difference of these 2 is not that big, but the price difference of these bracelets was huge (80 USD vs. 520 USD) so that was the factor for going thinner! I am thinking about sizing the OMEGA PLOPROF rubber down to my wrist....will have to cut major parts of it, so for now I decided to wait cause my PloProf clasp is falling apart anyway, my dealer told me to take care of that!

thogaa Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Mesh looks brilliant About the Ploprof clasp construction - When you do size it down the inner part of the deploymant will push the slide release button and make the strap go loose. Amazingly poor construction. I can't imagine the gen is constructed that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Wheaton, thanks, yes it tapers.. But its a SHAME that the rep clasp sucks, it looses by itself (the micro adjustment), had to take it off..
