I did't intend for this video to run as long as it did, but I found the duration necessary in order to unpack all of the features of this watch! In most respected, the capability and engineering of the current PloProf surpass the original, and I expect this rarely seen Omega dive watch to become a classic in its own right. Best, Tim
First!Hey just a question Tim.Im starting to get into horology and fine timepieces.Im about to got to medical school at imperial this coming year(super excited!)...My aim is to become a surgeon and hopefully as a “side effect”:) once I do,I could financially afford Patek ,AP,etc... and other very fine timepieces.However until so I was look for an amazing luxury watch to take me through the next 10 years of my career until I hopefully become an attending surgeon.Budget doesn’t bother me as this will be my “one watch collection” .I was considering the Rolex submariner 116610LN (Stainless steel-date).Is this a good choice and what else would your recommend for me to consider?Thanks!Ps.I love your videos.
Hi Vignesh, welcome to our channel. You can gain quite a bit of extra capability and useful features in the discontinued steel 41.5mm Master Compressor Memovox diving alarm from JLC. The 1990s Zenith Rainbow Flyback is a genuine military-contract watch (France) that is about to see significant appreciation, and the 40mm/steel combination is versatile on the wrist; the watch already commands universal respect. Finally, I advise you to consider the second generation Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph ref. 49150 in steel. That watch with the 2012-2015 lacquer blue dial or black galvanized dial (my favorites) is 42mm in diameter, 150-meters water resistant, and beautifully finished in a fashion to rival Patek and AP, but the price is far more accessible pre-owned. Best, Tim
WatchBox Reviews Hello Tim!Thanks for the reply,well I should say excellently detailed reply:).I appreciate you informing me of my choices of watch in my given situation with all your knowledge.I shall check out all the aforementioned watches and get back to you afterwards via this comment/conversation is that’s fine by you?Also I was just worried that the discontinued or very luxurious models you’ve suggested may cause me issue down the line in terms of service and accessibility(I live in the UK) relative to maintenance etc if the watch is discontinued or price of service with VC.Would they be similar to Rolex or is Rolex kind of overrated in your opinion?Thanks!
WatchBox Reviews Hey Tim,I’ve decided to go for a Rolex and thanks to family relations to my dealer I can get any Sub or GMT master 2(including new Pepsi one within 1.5 years’.Im adamant on SS sports.So which one?GMT master 2 or Submariner and which variant of each?
Não consigo entender o porque da Omega Watches editar tantas versões deste fantástico relógio. Estas cores berrantes fizeram dele um relógio Made In China. Acho um desrespeito ao grande Jacques Costeau que deu ao Omega Samaster Professional PloProf o título de Mestre dos Mares. Ele sempre foi o sonho de todos os mergulhadores. Duvido que mergulhadores adquiram ele todo fantasiado assim. Lamentável.

Whenever I'm interested in purchasing a watch, I always have to know what Tim thinks.
Glad to hear that Tim's thoughts are of value to you!
Thanks for watching!

This gonna be one of the most unique Omega watches. The shark mesh is awesome!
You're spot-on, Alvin! I adore that "shark proof" mesh for its look AND its comfort. The clasp is over-the-top cool.
Best,
Tim
@WatchBox Reviews

This is one UGLY watch!
It's a beautiful watch, if you're wearing a wetsuit and have a scuba tank on your back.
@@highnrising
True but that's a big if and in spite of the proplof lineage, no longer the target consumer.

@@JimJones762x39 "just pops" I agree ! :-D
