    Omega is like Invicta when it comes to msrp prices lol. I would never buy an omega with the retail price. They drop in price like crazy. I think its really ugly, but if you like it go ahead and buy it.

    Well the msrp is $9400 but I can get the gray market on chrono24 $5434 + shipping. Yes, I understand it’s not for everyone but other than my two tone sub I love huge watches.

    The heart wants what the heart wants and all that.....:rolleyes:

    If I were you, and considering the lump of cash you are spending, I'd really make and effort to try a Ploprof on first. They are BIG watches.

    I tried it on. Despite being bigger in size on my wrist it actually felt smaller than my breitling Super Avenger 2 which is “only” 48mm.

    Then, if you like it, want it and can afford it, there's not much else to say. It's something of a marmite watch, but some people love the stuff!

    What I’m love about this watch is how unique it looks. These days even watches by invicta resemble a audemars piquet or breitling to the non watch lover but I have yet to see a watch that looks anything like a Ploprof.

    Its your wrist so, rock it like you own it! You certainly will not come across another while grocery shopping Saturday morning.

    Let's see a post when you do receive the watch.

    Big watch love, Invicta comparisons, gratuitous shots of German steering wheels; very WUS thread, kudos!

    The white Ploprof is a bold choice.

    No need to ask total strangers what they think. Personally, I never could see the interest in that model. But if you like it, buy it.

    I did get rid of the German Benz. I have a domestic Chevy now. But it is a 650 horsepower 2018 zo6

    If you're looking for a Speedmaster, try to land a Speedy Tuesday! If you're looking for a really robust dive watch, try to land one of the Ltd Edition Planet Oceans. There are some fantastic Speedmaster Racing configurations. Many people like the Japan only version.

    I was only able to 'like' this; in reality I don't think I could be more in love with it! Beautiful! ::love::

    If this is what you truly want go for it and already getting it grey vs AD so big discount.

    My best friend has One (black dial). It’s kinda cool. I would not use it for a daily but every once in a while I would wear it.

    Looking at it all I really see are two hits of orange. I would have trouble easily reading the time. Having said that...carry on.

    have fun

    Chrono24 does offer buy protection so you should be good. Congrats on the new watch!
