Huh, neat! The reverse is kind of neat too. DIDN'T we realize at one point it was actually a factory option? Or did we decide it was only mods?

The opinions differ a bit. Omega supposedly tested with this case orientation, but divers didn't like the crown part sticking in their suit sleeves. But most reversed cases are just wrongly assembled.

Nice read here: https://omegaprototypes.com/seamaster-600-ploprof/

I heard from a collector that there are no C-shape case "lefty's". Also a friend of mine pored over the "Seamaster vintage" book, which has some information about this. Anyway, I acquired a date disc for a regular orientation and will have this done together with a service.

Happy to say I got influenced at a GTG. Also, my wife thinks it's a ridiculous thing 😂

You are welcome and my apologies.
Funky 70s Omega are the best.

Welcome to Club PloProf buddy!

At your GTG the vintage PloProf started to flirt with me 🥰

After wearing it on the OEM vintage rubber strap (service part) & OEM modern orange rubber strap, switched back to the OEM mesh bracelet to have the heaviest look and feel.

Been wearing my Summer Blue one with the mesh bracelet for a while and it really balances the watch out nicely. The adjustability of the OEM bracelet is great and this it has the best overall look.

After wearing it as my daily for a couple of weeks, realize how comfortable it is to wear especially on th mesh bracelet. Switched to my 80s Sub for the day and kept having to check my wrist thinking I forgot to wear a watch.

The Summer Blue in direct sunlight is really a banger of a dial. Only found a couple of pics which compare to the color in nature. One was in the Caribbean when I purchased it and the second was when landing on a Glacier in Alaska this past summer.

the summer blue dial is truly a work of art. it’s a shame to think modern Omega/Swatch gets it so right sometimes but generally misses the rest.

Last Sunday’s mini PloProf GTG

• The vintage PloProf wears much lighter, like a normal watch
• The 1000m looks huge, but becomes one with the wrist thanks to the lug-less turret shape

Yes it was! This was by far the most rugged sub-collection in the room.
