The Omega Ploprof
is heavy if you were to hold it on the palm. BUT...on certain wrists, the weight is good...it has the very strong advantage of having a pressure adjusted cuff...and the comfort level requires adjustment a few hours after wearing it..and then it becomes a part of the person..very good.
This was of course something I will believe Omega thought of when the rubber strap was made. It is one of my very favorite recomendations for students...men and women doing medical work. Because of the availability of the timer on the bezel..and the lock down. I used to be an anaesthetist for very long, several hours, ortho cases way back in the 80s, and this feature is very important. Because I may have to run 2 theatres at a time, a short case one and a long case.
Part 32? Watch sizes and your wrist, hand and the distal third of the ulnar.
My first Omega Seamaster was the 1982 'Polaris' version with calibre 1420. When I bought it, and I still have it, as you can see,( this picture is very difficult to fake...and the Porsche phone will date it.), I was so stupid to think that it was TOO big ...
You look like a research student in the last pic Bernard. :)
The pro plof is hefty?No? cheers PAt

Amazing how our...
tastes change over time. Watch sizes have certainly increased although I still prefer mostly the smaller cased versions (33-38mm). You have been collecting from your earliest days--spearguns, fins, etc. Good to see your Omega preferences. tempusfugit
Till today, I still collect Omegas which I believe would be a part of my life.
I look out for the rectangular model which has the removable case.
Nothing is too big, if you really like a watch and want ...
... to wear it! We are not here to share a passion that simply looks good, it is way more than that!
I am using a Hermes CDC in all leather to...
allow wearing big watches and to wear 2 watches.
Thanks...it is for me, life. Glad you see it that way.
I never consider how the watch looks on me. As you saw in the years before now, since 1999 or so...I have often advised the readers then to look forward about 10 years, and see the watch as an art form..and focus on the form factor and history that is to ...
I use to prefer smaller watches. I think the Tread1 may...
Have done something to alter my perceptions.
I love the DEVON TREAD. Totally!!!
I think I use that watch about 5 times a week during medical work. It is VERY GOOD...because it does not show off and yet it is VERY abstract and attention getting...in a GOOD way. Also, the TREAD has more to say of watch collecting!
Distal third of the ulnar...
Hand/wrist fracturing-ly large watches... It's amazing how much watch sizes have changed over the past 30 years...
Yeah...totally. It is always very provoking.
I find this phenomena is not at its end, but that shape is the next. And to go 3d. Thats why I placed the MBF2 there.
Nice photo
Of the watches Bernard and your thoughts on the growing sizes. I am however lost on why anyone would think you would want to fake the photo or is it just to show us (or off) that you have the new Porsche Blackberry?? Cheers Andrew
Chuckles. Yees...the blackberry is it.
Just kidding. I didn't have to pay for it, so I guess it does not count. But the point I was trying for, was to show that the OLD Titane was actually kept, and not photoshopped into the group. But you are right. One thing....there are many ways people rea...
I think the watch size has stopped "growing", Bernard.
Personally, i think big watches look ugly on small wrist generally except on ladies' wrists, strangely. Regards Ling
Yes..this is quite correct imho.
I can get away with a few..but normally it is the Devon and the mbf1 that I can get away with.
