Also agree on the
Ploprof with silver dial and lume bezel...that's cool bravo.gif

Hey O - you know me - an old Ploprof owner and a new-one-wannabe, so I always disclaim my vested interest first!

There's something very attractive about the "white Ploprof" (it isn't silver...) but the original still wins hands down for me. I can just see this white version ending up on black or orange isofrane straps and looking (shudder) a bit "girly??". Stick it on mesh and I still just can't get my head around it - somehow it just becomes too "dressy?". Don't shoot me just yet! Maybe the dial could become an option for owners of the black bezelled version? Y'all can see where I am headed here. Too much white for me.

The 1500m SuperOcean looks way cool, and I would have one of those.

Also interesting on the design side is the ribbing on both dial and bezel for the Tag Aquaracer black. Looks funky in a good way.

Mods pls delete if comment here is not appropriate, but E**o M*****a also has some new designs on the way, and they are an altogether more interesting case and dial design direction IMHO, albeit a bit more pricey than the EMs we are used to - but WOW those new cases are to die for.

Have a great day - and thanks for sharing, O.

Very interesting. Thanks, Oscar.

I'm starting to like the Breitling. Azimuth has a good approach to a diver. The Rolex Sub appears to be more angled than previous ones though.

Almost all the watches are excellent.gif

Wow....Oscar...thanks for the link buddy!!!!...honestly, I am salivating....looks like 2010 is a good year to be a WIS!!!wowzer.gif

There is so much good going on here that I don't even know where to start...a mix of "WOW" and "hmmm, I'll see how that one grows on me"...to "oh man, how much is this one going to cost me"...some very nice pieces and unique design elements popping out in these 2010 divers...I really like alot of what I see!!!my love.gif
