please post your watch here...even better if you have some history about the watch !

 

There was a good thread on this recently, http://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-ploprof-some-questions.16393/

 

Err, mine needs a little work to bring it up to scratch. original movement being repaired at the moment.

 

This is going to be a very nice example !
I love the "two tone" dials.

 

It has been asserted previously that the two tone dial may be the result of age related colour leaching, but I have a catalogue somewhere showing a Ploprof with that dial type.

 

I do believe it's original

 

I´ll play

My first one, bought from the original owner´s son.
The owner was a scientific scuba diver at NOAA in the 70ties and later worked for the Smithonian.

 

My second one, accoring to the Extract of records sold in France in the 70ties.



I can be a bit more precise about the production after i looked it up in the Extract. It was produced June 1972, serial number starts with 31988...

 

This is one i put together for a friend, he wanted to have lume that glows

 

And here a group Photo with Mk I Dial Plo of a friend, i am still in need for that dial in my collection
And i need one with a c-shaped case too

 

Another Closeup of the MK I dial Ploprof, i really like the distressed dial, it looks like a piece of old leather

 

Stunning ! I see that the Ploprof is an addictive watch !

Here are my ex watches:

- a mk1, it was my first Ploprof.

I have traded it for a Rolex some years ago with a good friend



- Then I got this nice mk3, that I kept for about a year



- and then I was lucky enough to buy this first owner mk3 with great provenance

 

Pretty nice pieces, love the Mk I

 

Hi

I've owned a couple....





Best - Neil

 

man, everybody did own a Mk I dial, except for me.

 

Nice collections of mk1's !

I love the tropic sport on the second picture; I have a black one.

Did you ask for the Omega extracts ?

Do you know where your watches were sold ?

 

I only have one (I won't count the two 1000m) but it came straight from Marseille with the original bracelet, mesh, two isofrane and the Comex Divers Extension - referred to by Omega as “the offshore bracelet for waterproof watches“
(Ref-1247-1266/02)

 

Nice watch !

Anything engraved on the back ?

 

Nice one, but the rubber strap in front is no vintage Isofrane, its the modern Omega replacement strap. Stiff as hell, had one too

 

What are the tell tell signs?
