    Now you're on your own with the "baby" Ploprof
    You Plongeur Rodney ! (Only my UK chums will get that one ..... probably?)

    Hey thanks for that insight BW , I'd have spent ages working that out probably.... Now all I've got to do is work out what a Plongeur is... off to google... I hope it doesn't just say 'refer to Omega watches'

    I would say yes it's iconic...but would not wear one unless I was a Master Scuba Diver, which I'm not.

    It is certainly a solid looking chunk of stainless steel.

    I think it's a great piece, if you have the wrist for it....unfortunately I don't don't.
