Nanuq Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I picked up a very handsome Ploppy from a gentleman in jolly olde London and it's a joy to behold, but darn if I never wore it. Something about it was just...... off. Unbalanced somehow. So I was wearing a Pam 6154 with a lovely thick wide strap and realized part of its persona is that wide strap. I looked the Omega over and realized there was a big massive head and a comparatively puny shark mesh band. Plus the original clasp was a disaster to keep adjusted. The light came on. I went fishing in the eBay pond and came up with a 24mm by 190mm shark mesh band that's built like a tank and the clasp has a nice low profile. I fitted it up tonight and it makes all the difference in the world. Now I've got a massive band to counterbalance the massive head. It looks amazingly better and the clasp is a dream in comparison.

Nanuq Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I've got one on my Orange Monster too and it's a heck of a piece. Strong and well built. I really like the BIG look it gives the Ploprof, so it's more "balanced" top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Bob I just bought another Ploppy with Swiss movement and got an even better Shark mesh with the removable links as per oem shark mesh and which allows the fitment of the correct deployant! It was similar money!. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-22-24mm-Silver-Stainless-Steel-Men-Solid-Shark-Mesh-Watch-Band-Strap-Bracelet/262746578529?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=561698700024&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 AJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, without sounding cheap it’s a bit to much for me at the moment. I am pursuing the 20mm xtension and will give them a go however I wore it a few times and it’s actually comfy. Watch Out!
