Congratulation Buddy , Enjoy this Legendary piece :thumbsup:

Hope it will not only be a safe queen

I wear mine each summer

P.S. where did you found your box ? , I waited a LONG time to find mine ;)

I found it on Chrono24 when I was browsing for a gen rubber strap. And I was quite amazed because I never have seen another for sale. And I contacted the seller and he told me the watch was stoled in a burglary but the thieves didn't take the box he stored in the closet. I guess this gen box is hard to come by so I'm very happy.

Hello everyone, I am officially on the MUST BUY THIS list. How easy/hard is it to make these waterproof for swimming? I don't dive but I do swim in pools and in the beach.

I recently contacted toro, he only has the Swiss ETA movement which if i remember correctly he is selling for $508. The serial number is 82058507 for the V2.
Lucy at truetime168 is getting it for me for $308 with the ETA clone movement. I personally chose the ETA clone movement only because i've read that most Swiss ETAs are re-harvested movement which may or may not be in perfect working order i.e. lack of servicing. I placed an order with her yesterday.

Checking all of the links provided here to see who has what, I was only able to get to three.

InTime has the BEST EDITION with the A2824 - $318 - http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=975

ToroBravos has the NOOB BEST EDITION with A2836-2 - $328 - http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=1200&product_id=193

TSWatch has a Top Grade 1:1 Version - $338 - http://tswatchltd.com/11593-xfom2310-omega-ploprof-1200m-black-dial-ss-ru-asian-2813-automatic.html

Of these three, which would be the one to get assuming that they are available. And if there is a better option out there, what is it. PS I have plenty of ETA 2836-2 movements to replace whatever it comes with so everything else is more important.

TIA!

just get the seals greased and pressure tested. because of the screw down crown and two piece caseback it should be good for swimming. mine passed 6BAR fine.

intime and toro have the same version, the 28XX series movement are mostly interchangeable and you'll find that they are quite liberal with the description on the exact movement as well.

tswatch's version is the V1 case, note the happy feet omega logo on the dial and serial number on the back (82076507) this means non functioning bezel lock and a one piece caseback.

i got mine from Toro, highly recommended.

the V2 is hard to come by now, it seems the last remaining few have been sold now. some TDs had some with the swiss movements left the last i heard.

Sead1999 also posted up saying he had some in stock in August over on repgeek: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=236979&highlight=ploprof
might be worth asking him if he has any left. Only the V2 does this watch any justice imo and that is THE version to get.

And the best mesh replacement strap?

I tried the Wjean, but the finish was too satin. The best one I have found is the one that Helson sold with the Sharkmaster600. Not sure if they are available by themselves any longer though, but the shiny finish on it, to me, is closer than the Wjean.

Looks like I landed two v2 Ploprof's in as many days!! I will keep the best and sell the other but wanna get them both modded. I checked with Toro and he can get an orange V1 rubber strap for me so I'm gonna order one.

Where did you land them from?
