I've always
always wanted a Ploprof. I mean, how could you not? Sure, it's big and silly and impractical and expensive, but it's also one of the coolest (if not
the coolest) dive watches ever made, bar-none. Picked up a Blancpain Bathyscaphe a few weeks back, and didn't feel anything for it straight out of the box, then when an 8900 titanium Ploprof appeared in Topper's pre-owned collection, I knew the timing had finally lined up. And now that my modern Seamaster holy trinity (AT Skyfall, LMLE, Ploprof), is completed, I feel like I can hang it up for awhile. This thing is truly amazing.
I guess the punchline is that if you love it but haven't tried it, don't let the numbers deter you – it's as cool as you'd imagine it'd be, but far more wearable. And for what it's worth, I've got a flat, 6.5" wrist. Will add a wrist shot or two once I get 'em.
