 I just got back from the Omega AD to check out the new Ploprof for myself.  After reading IanM's report on this beast, I wanted to see it in the flesh.  This one is on orange rubber - a bit loud IMHO.  Nevertheless, I was most impressed:

This watch is really and truly a cult object.  As I was handling it in the store, some other clients couldn't resist coming over to me and talk about the watch.  I like it a lot more in the flesh than in the pics.  The dealer enquired from the distributor, and there is one available on mesh!  Now that got my juices flowing......

I just love the Omega mesh, and on this watch it makes a statement about the watch's pedigree and history.  The price quoted is only about $300 more for the mesh model, so great value IMHO.
These watches sell quicker than hot cakes, and demand far outstrips supply.  I see that there are a few available on the Bay, but none with the mesh.  The price quoted me was remarkably good compared to the listings on the Bay.
So there you have it.  This morning I was minding my own business, with no intention of adding anything to my grail list.  And then this happened.
What to do?
Hang in there for a sequel to this fable........subtlelaugh.gif
