IMO, a standout of the new for 2009 models introduced at this year's Basel is OMEGA's Ploprof

Here's a pic on our Glashutte PuristSPro Moderator Dr. No's wrist....

In the pics I've seen previously, the bracelet was something I didn't care for. Boy was I wrong!!! This bracelet is awesome!

The design and sturdiness of the bracelet is one of it's best features....great job Omega!

Very solid construction

Key Points from the Discussion

The Ploprof's bracelet, particularly the mesh 'shark-proof' design, is a standout feature, praised for its sturdiness and comfort, a significant improvement over earlier versions.
The non-symmetrical design of the Ploprof helps to break up its inherent massiveness, making it appear less imposing even on smaller wrists.
The new Ploprof's mesh bracelet includes a much-needed deployant, addressing a common issue with the old mesh bracelets which were difficult to buckle.
The Ploprof is considered a perfect divers' watch, but its wearability as a 'street' watch can be problematic depending on the bracelet choice, with the mesh being preferred.
The watch's iconic status and dial design are appreciated, but potential buyers express concern about the comfort level of its unique case on the wrist.
The new Ploprof is noted for looking equally good on both its steel mesh bracelet and a rubber strap, offering versatile styling options.

. . . has a new addition ;-). In my opinion, the non-symmetrical design breaks up the subliminal sense of massiveness that the Ploprof objectively carries . . . yes, it's huge, but it doesn't seem out of place on my tiny wrist. If I can wear one comfortably, then almost anyone can . . . cordially, Art
