Photo courtesy of Hontwatch. It seems that I have overpaid A LOT. Currently only 21j available but you can enquire him.

Look the case variations available. YAY! I love the all black too. I am going to get the gold case with white dial and white strap to pimp it.

Hont is asking way below the cartel :p

Nonsense... The gen is like what 6000 dollars?

Gen:Rep price ratio is too big.

That's a cool looking spread of watches but I am with w@tchlume on this one. Well then I am also biased because this was suppose to be the most super rep ever and it didn't even pan out. no flat feet, incorrect font on bezel, I'm hearing the bezel is suppose to be sapphire, lock button doesn't even work (wtf?).. not my thing. hopefully they don't mess up the 42.5mm PO this badly.

It's definitely a polarizing design as far as fashion is concerned, but the original Ploprof was a serious dive tool watch. Function over form. If you dig classic divers from the 70's, this one is a must have. It's definitely a major piece in Omega's famed Seamaster line, both historically and innovation-wise. Jacques himself had one of theses.

Here's some interesting articles: http://www.ploprof.com/Site/Home.html

Rep or gen, if I saw anyone wearing this watch in a meeting or out in the town I think I'd have a laugh... However, even if you're not a diver, it would be a pretty cool watch to wear for a day at the beach, sailing, etc. Just get it waterproofed first.

I'm thinking the safe money is on one of these ending up in your collection. Everything ends up in your collection. ;)

4000ft it still won't reach the Deepwater Horizon. 1280 feet too short.

I think the watch is beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder right?
Ordered one from Perfect clones, never ordered from there before so hope it goes fine...
@jcrry2: I dont think they will bother with that, just slap in a 2836 clone and be done with it is their mentality. Would be cool if they did though. Although I´m not sure I would want that on a rep, its an accident with the movement waiting to happen.

It's here guys:
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/rwi-exclusive-omega-ploprof-54412?p=539976

Just a summary of my first impression:
Watch is heavy, solidly built
Crown is not flimsy
Overall it has a huge wrist present
Big size but OK for small wrist
Pusher is dummy, you can press it but it doesn't affect the way the bezel turn
Bezel turn has a solid feeling. It can go both direction.

You can't set the hour hand only without hacking the watch. So it function just like a normal ETA2824-2/2836-2 movement.

Movement is clone but has ETA stamp.
