Hi guys,

As above, they don't seem to be popular around here? Any specific reason or its just the taste :)

The forums seems to be filled with Pams and Rolexes!

I'm really enjoying my Ultimate Proprof!

Im wearing mine right now :)

To be fair, the ploppy was the talk of rep town half a year before the release.
These days, there are so many new pam super reps out, naturally the they get a lot of stage time.
I love your ploppy pics. Enjoy it :)

This is the only watch i wear 24/7! Being not a expert in this, would need to dig some older threads and see how it compares to gen. The Plo has so much presence that it gets a lot of attention! Young or old everyone seems to love it.

Thought about it, but to be honest there is nothing out there i would like to get... Just today got a PO delivered and meh not my cuppa tea.

Have PAM GMT coming soon but not sure how will be my reaction to it.

I was outside the AD last week, looking at the gen in the window, and I swear, I think the v2 plops is one of the most accurate reps.
I'll admit that there are subtle differences like how the lume is applied on the bezel, and so on, but the brushing on this case is superb quality, SUPERB! Realky makes the rep silky shiny like few reps

In my limited experience in this hobby I would say so too! Bazel numbering being greyish because of the lume is the only thing that bugs my eyes but that will change soon, will be getting it re-lumed. Apart from that I was looking one in the windows in AD in Zurich, and from that distance its really hard to spot the difference.

Great Pics!

One of my favorite watches too

Plop on leather strap is rather interesting! Very nice.

The V2 and my DSSD are my daily beaters. I think the Ploprof gets the most comments of all my watches followed by my 187.

The doctor at the hospital tonight was wearing a PO. The sweep was super smooth, and it reminds me how easy the jitter on many reps is to notice.

Why I was at the hospital is a long story

The plop isn't popular due to it's size. Many people simply cannot wear it. My love for 47mm Pam subs has made me realize the same thing.

It's not so popular because it's just too big. I'd love one but on my 6.75" wrist a 44mm pam is the biggest I can wear. I love the ploprof and tried one but it looked absolutely ridiculous. My wife was speechless when I said I actually wanted one!

Not sure if I would personally put it to size, as they are quiet a few watches that are as big but still around.

But, at least it's good it's down to the size rather then flaws :)
