| One of the badest watches on the market right now. So bad ass.
I would kill several of you to get it. I would kill several of you for fun, but the watch would be a nice bonus. | |

| I'm sorry but I have never liked this watch nor do I like the Ocean 7 homage which is virtually identical. |

| Dial/Bezel, yes. Bracelet, yes. Case, umm, no. Not unless I was starring in a remake of "Sea Hunt" or serious deep diving daily, which I wouldn't do.

| I'm with Don . . . never been a fan. If I could bring myself to part with that much money for a watch, it wouldn't be a Ploprof. But to each his own, and I realize I'm in the minority on this one. | |

...and the 55mm x 48mm is too big for me. |

| Bezel....Rules Handset....Rules Mesh...Rules Case....Fails I'm actually curious as to why Omega would re-issue this watch. |

| That watch is as ridiculous as some of the huge Invictas. Fanboys aside, Alan has proven today that even Omega makes some crap. | |

| The Ploprof is just cool anyway you slice it IMHO ! The shape of the case is otherworldly and outstanding. The dial is stunningly perfect, while the mesh bracelet BELONGS on this awesome monster of a watch ! It even looks great with different straps too..it's really something else ! ____________________________________ | |

| I honestly don't like it. I think it looks a little strange and the band is not for me. I am sure it is made well and has all the Omega guts inside, but I would never wear it. | |

| That Omega totally kicks ass! Bill Bartlett has had one for a long time and I drool over it whenever he chooses to post a wrist check photo of it. But six grand? No thanks. | |

| They have one at the local Tourneau. One of the few watches that looks better in pictures. Way to big and goofy looking. It was made to serve a specific purpose,which was not everyday casual wear. Russian Diverish. |

| Flacom took the words right out of my mouth. Ditto on both accounts. |

| Okay, I don't like it. Seriously. Loathe, detest, abhor the case and crown protector. Looks like something that should come in a yellow box. Yuck, blech, meh! However, the bracelet, dial and bezel are sweet. Talk to me again when the Nicholas Hayek & the company finish their bad acid trip. |

| Nope. FUGLY and HUGE. Weighs a ton, buttons are useless and will snag on things, and it costs a mint. |

| Until Omega reissued it i thought real hard about the O7 lm7, a true HOMAGE at the time because Omega didnt make it anymore! Now it's just another replica but with the success of the O7 i'm sure Omega decided it was time to get back into the game!! BTW you can pick up a used O7 for around 700 bones!! |

| That is the ONLY watch out there that I would love to have. To me it doesn't get much more original. When you see that watch you KNOW it's an Omega. Like Poli said, it's a BADASS watch |
