Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Seamaster Ploprof 1200m for a while now. I mean, it’s a beast of a watch, and let’s be real, it’s got that cool factor. Here’s how I finally got my hands on a copy of this legendary diver.
First off, I did some digging. I needed to know what I was getting into. Turns out, this thing was made back in 1970 for divers who were basically swimming in the abyss. I’m no professional diver, but the idea of having a watch that could handle that kind of pressure? Pretty awesome.
Then, I had to figure out where to find a good copy. This wasn’t about getting the cheapest thing out there, but something that really captured the essence of the original. I looked around at different online stores, I was checking them out carefully, looking for good service and not trying to cut corners.
After searching, I finally found a store that looked good. They had detailed pictures, and it wasn’t just one or two. I could really see the watch from different angles. The specs they listed made sense, too, matching what I knew about the real Ploprof – 55 x 48mm case, that crazy 1200m water resistance, and the bi-directional rotating bezel with a safety lock. It felt legit.
Here’s the breakdown of what I looked for specifically:
- Water Resistance: I wanted to make sure it had that 1200m depth rating, even if I’d never take it that deep.
- Case Size: The 55 x 48mm size is a big part of the Ploprof’s charm. I wanted to make sure the copy got that right.
- Bezel: It had to have that special rotating bezel with the safety lock, just like the original.
- Movement: I wanted to make sure that this is a high-quality movement. The smooth sweeping of the second hand is a must for me.
I pulled the trigger and ordered it. Waiting for it to arrive was tough, but when it finally showed up, I was stoked. It had the same hefty feel as the real deal, and all the details were there. I’m not gonna lie, I felt pretty cool wearing it. I have been wearing it for almost 24 months and I haven’t found any problems so far!
The Verdict
Getting a copy of the OMEGA Seamaster Ploprof 1200m was a bit of an adventure, but totally worth it. I got a watch that looks and feels amazing, and it didn’t destroy my bank account. If you’re into dive watches, and especially the Ploprof, this is definitely something to check out.
