I enjoy your reviews because, you know no watch is perfect. You aren't here to be a watch or a brand's cheerleader. Each watch has its own personality, good, bad, indifferent, you enjoy each watch for what it is and never try to pretend it is something it isn't.

Well presented Mr, excellent value for the money, not a lot of people who can afford the original, but as you say ticks all the boxes, and when you wear it, from a few feet away anyone who knows anything about ploprof could believe it to be the real thing, for less than half the price of an omega ploprof rubber strap, just one way of looking at it. Thank you.

I will eventually get my hands on an Omega Ploprof but for now this will be more than enough to keep me satisfied. It really is a great watch. Maybe something you don't take too seriously but still have a tremendous amount of fun with.

Totally agree. Yes it's not an Omega Ploprof, but for now it scratches the itch for me. Currently I'd rather spend a few hundred on a Steeldive than $10k USD on the original🤘

I was eyeballing this watch for over two months before finally pulling the trigger. I got the watch delivered here in California within just a few days. I own quite a few watches but I am very pleased with the 1969 and I haven't worn any other of my watches in 3 months. Quality, fit, and finish are spot-on and belie the price if the watch. I own version 1.

I just found your review, excellent take. Yes, of course it is not a real 1200m watch. As a recreational diver I would trust more a true ISO6425 certified 200m watch than this one, but for desk diving or casual pool activities, why not!?

How do you remove links on this shark mesh band??
@degenerateWA
3 жыл бұрын
There are "h" links by the clasp that allow for size adjustments. A normal shark mesh will be different: you have to actually cut away the chain mesh that you don't need so it's vital to know your wrist size. This one is better because there's no cutting required

Those of us who are not rich could never get the original. It is really quite different that the original. Not near a "copy". Has a very similar silhouette. But that's where the similarities end really. What ever you think, every watch is basically a homage of the next. Most divers look the same. Most dress watches look the same. Etc.

Now I know where the 'dislike' came from! 😂 it's all good. Homage, copy, rip off, etc: I care very little about these titles (with the understanding that the watch I am purchasing is a legal transaction from a legitimate business). If the quality is good and the price is good then I'm all for it.
