Hey - I recently bought a Ploprof, and thought I would never wear it, but was so amused by how cool it is. Boy was I wrong I can’t take it off, it wears much much smaller than it is and is just so cool. Let’s see yours and hear your thoughts!

My thought is, why would you buy a Ploprof with the intent to not wear it? 😕
Other than that, I want one, but disagree with the pricing policy. Its like you pay per gram.
My question is why won’t they bring this down to human sizes and eat Panerai’s lunch? 40mm titanium. I’m in for a pair.
This was my first thought, but then I realized this is the appeal. If is was a 44 or 46mm watch it wouldn't have the presence is has now.
Ok. Let's talk Ploprofs. This one just arrived from the motherland. I had it serviced earlier in the year, but water tightness was not assured. I sent it to Bienne and they gave it a ground up restoration. There is nothing like these. True, this one has "service parts" (many). Nevertheless, I love it. Without further ado. Pics snapped within the past couple of hours, immediately after collecting it from the Fedex depot:
Edit - PS, my "puck" training over the past few days paid off. I can barely tell this is on my wrist 😀 !
My local watch dealer has been in business 30 years. He used to be an Omega AD until covid hit. Sells a lot of Rolex. He has some incredible vintage stuff stored away. Someone traded in a titanium Ploprof years ago and it's been his daily wearer since. He could wear anything.
They have a certain appeal. Surprisingly comfortable. Kindof a statement that says I like watches and don't care what you think. Like owning a three legged dog.
I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about them. I don't dislike them and think they are cool when I see one (my brother has one and looks great on him. He called me up one day and said "have you seen these?!! They are so awesome I want one!)
They're just not my thing yet. I kindof wish they were. Maybe some day. I'm still too ambivalent about them. But when I see one. I know right away that's a watch guy I want to know.
Congrats on your watch. Wear it in good health. (Don't stare at your watch while driving...)
I am interested in one, but I wear my watches on my right wrist, and I was worried about the crown/guard digging into my right wrist too much. Looking at the picture, I'm guessing it is not too much of an issue for him?
