It looked best on the mesh but was most comfortsble on the Iso type rubber😀

But we had a sort if love and hate relationship. At first, I intended to buy this Mark1 but I regarded it as to expensive. So stupid of me and I regretted it every day. It got dold and I even tried to flip it for mine plus cash lots if times with the new owner but no..
It also came with a service dial and hands.

It sads me still today looking at the pics!!
I did trade my one for a really nice Rolex 16700

I had told the guy that when ever he wanted to sell that Mark1, please let me know. And then the day came when he wanted to sell it and I soldmy Rolex and thought yes!!!!
The Mark1 hsd been sent for a service before we spoke and made up the deal and I specifically told him I wanted the Mark1 dial on, not the service dial. Unfortunately the Mark1 dial was ti fragile or it got destroyd I dont exactly know, but it now came on the service dial instead. It was the Mark1 dial I hade fell for in the first place!!!
So sad.. and no, I dif not end up buying it and even sadder for the poor guy is that he lost a lot of money on it. He finally got it sold for 40% less than what I would have paid..
Long story I know but that was the Ploprof and I.

Finally got my Ploprof back from service- a lovely early one from the son of the original owner. Could not remove the crown properly when I brought it as it was all gunked up but runs a treat now.

Currently at the watchmaker. Dial is a D1 overprint according to the Ploprof website. All the scratches are in the crystal

Looks good, another early dial. Do you have any movement information on it?

I have a question regarding the power reserve of the Ploprof 1002 movement, I get about 1.5 days before mine stops, so I can only really leave it for 1 day off the wrist before it needs to be worn or it will stop before the next day. I'm assuming this is fairly standard?
Thanks

Is this after fully manually winding it? And if so how do you do that ?

This is after fully winding it in the morning and then wearing it during the day, take it off at night and then after about 1.5 days it has stopped. Winding it I just pull out the crown (since it has stopped I need to set the time anyway) and wind the crown maybe 30-40 times

God damn, this is a dangerous thread. I wanted one so badly. Problem is my 6” wrist disagreed. I’m thinking that mesh bracelet can work for my massive 6” wrist. Any 6er pulled this off? Photos please.

why isn’t Omega eating Panerai’s cake and offer a 42mm size?
come on!

I think these 70's omegas are nominally rated as around 40 hr reserve. Assuming that it's not a brand new mainspring, 36 hrs seems within an average range for a watch this age.

The Cal. 1002 has a stated reserve of 38 hours.
