Key Points from the Discussion

The Omega Planet Ocean GMT's orange accents were initially rated 7/10 from promo pictures but improved to 9/10 after experiencing how the bezel and dial transform under different lighting conditions in the real world.
The Omega Ploprof, while worn regularly for a period, became a weekend and holiday watch due to its high-profile nature attracting significant attention and questions from others.
The Omega PloProf 600 is highlighted as a true original condition reference piece, valuable for confirming original components and understanding historical variations like the 'flat three' bezel.
The Omega Planet Ocean Good Planet is praised for its exquisite dial and bezel, which give it the appearance of a 'High-End' brand.
The ability of a watch to look good in any setting, from the beach to ancient ruins or a restaurant, is a testament to successful design.

Thank you, Asad. Yes, the Ploprof can be a bit challenging visually.

I wore it quite regularly since I bought in 2009 and stopped doing so in 2011 when I got the POC 9300. Comfort is different with the latter being a bit easier on the wrist, especially around the bracelet. But I think the main reason for me is that the Ploprof attracts too much attention and (positive) questions from people I meet in real life. It's a high profile watch on the wrist of a low profile person, if I can put it that way. That's why I wear the Ploprof mostly on weekends and holidays no
