·Amazing piece. Don't think I could pull it off but yours is very striking, especially on that mesh. Looks like it's been winched up like treasure from the depths!

·That's great, looking forward to the wrist shots.
As I mentioned, 6.5" wrist, relatively flat, but the watch only has a 48mm L2L. The real optical illusion here isn't just the lugs though, but the wide bezel juxtaposed against a relatively small dial opening. If it weren't for the overall width, the watch would have a visual footprint similar to a 42 or 43mm Planet Ocean. I'll break out my calipers when I get home to compare it to a few different dials in the collection.

Great pic, very cool watch.

·Quick update with a few more dimensions - indeed, it's a thicc boi at just over 18mm, but as you can see, it does sit comfortably against the wrist without feeling top-heavy, thanks to the width and short L2L.
Also, been meaning to point out that the dial diameter (just the dial alone, not measuring the bezel) is 30mm, which is the same as my 2500 42mm Planet Ocean (!!), and smaller than my Tudor Pelagos (33mm). I've always considered the dial aperture to be a crucial measurement, as it can give the perception of a larger or smaller watch depending on the thickness - or thinness of the bezel. And in this case, the measurement with the bezel diameter included is 45mm (measured at the base of the bezel which slopes outward), another crucial measurement, as your eyes generally focus on the areas of most contrast, so the watch very much looks and feels like a 45mm diver, with a super-wearable 48mm lug-to-lug measurement.
So there ya have it 😉

·Massive congratulations! You're absolutely right, there's no other dive watch that'll match the presence of a Ploprof 600. Enjoy it in good health! It's grandfather says hello
I genuinely can't wait until my Ploprof gets a little beat up - there are few watches out there that look better with some scars, and your 600 is a perfect example.

··Steve @ ΩFFinally had a chance to pop it on the scale this morning - 169 grams with the bracelet, though it's worth noting that I'm using the short mesh piece (this bracelet can't be adjusted - it comes with several pieces of mesh of differing lengths, and then a super-adjustable clasp). If you've got a bigger wrist, I'd expect it to weigh an extra gram or two.
You posted all this without a picture of the traded Blancpain, ............
Come on, inquiring wis's want to know ☕ (and see)
