    My dad paid me a visit yesterday and brought me a small gift.

    A little over a year ago he gifted me his old PloProf 600, you can read the full story here-

    But yesterday he added another piece to the puzzle, he was moving around some boxes in his garage and came across this rubber extension to the mesh bracelet-

    It was used by divers to extend the bracelet when wearing the watch during dive missions that required a thick diving suit.

    Here it is when attached to the bracelet-

    Unfortunately the rubber extension is a little torn-

    Omega PloProf could be the Mars exploration wristwatch... dust proof and radiation proof...
