·Hi all,
I recently joined the forum after restoring my dad's PloProf.
He was the original owner (got it as a wedding gift from my grandfather), used it during his army service so it had actual underwater operational use, hence the dents scratches and water damage, but at some point it stopped working, that's when he left it in a drawer for some years.
I recently got it from him (read the full story here- https://omegaforums.net/threads/new-member-old-watch.87128/), I serviced it and planning on wearing it as a daily.
I'm trying to figure out the configuration on it, I think it's a D4 dial and a B1 bezel (as it appears on this articel- https://www.fratellowatches.com/omega-seamaster-ploprof-truth/ but I'm not sure, also I am curious to know what configurations came out from the factory to try and understand if any parts changed over the years (my dad can't remember if anything was replaced).
Here are some photos of the watch before and after the service-
And on my wrist after it was back to life-
Also, I wanted to get an Omega NATO for it but saw they don't make it in 24mm which would be the right size for this watch, I understand that fitting a 22mm on it is a risk because the spring bars can pop out...
Not sure what it makes me but I want to put an Omega strap on it, any idea where I can find a selection of omega straps that will fit this watch?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
