I've been liking the blue bezel one, though not enough I think I would get one. I went in to the OB today and I unfortunately their POs hadn't been delivered, so I didn't get to check it out.
I was there for a Heritage 300 anyway, but would have been cool to see!
Side note; they had a Ti and a Summer Blue Proplof. They are shockingly lightweight, have a short lug to lug, and are more wearable than I'd thought! Still too "much" for me though😀
The Ploprof is such an awesome piece to wear around, I've never had so many people come up and ask about it, even more of a dude magnet than a rare sports car.
It looks weird on something like a Rolex Submariner 126619LB because it's a bright blue against a gloss black dial, but Omega's is a darker blue against matte black which looks pretty good to me. I also just noticed that the blue has white 12-3-6-9 while the black has polished silver. That fact didn't come through in the stock photos:

Was interesting to see that my OB actually had the discontinued one for sale 😀 Apparently they just got it in (along with a summer blue!).
:🍿:
Ploprofs? How much % off? I was wondering if the still in-stock planet oceans would be discounted. For example, I noticed the PO Summer Blue is no longer offered by Omega.
As a Gen3 owner, which is a watch I really love, I've got to admit Omega did a nice job with this update. I really don’t like the polished center links on the bracelet, but they could be easily brushed out. As far as the price, well, everyone’s taking big increases and the sapphire Speedy is now at $9,000, so this is just at parity with that.
Overall I think it looks fresh, crisp, modern, and non-derivative. Being properly sized with current tastes will be a big plus for market acceptance. I also give kudos and respect that Omega took the PO line in a different direction, took a little bit of risk, and established more separation from its predecessors and the SMP line.
Mine says hello -- and to give a point of comparison.....
As Thierry Stern said, most of the haters are people who never had a Patek and never will. So that doesn’t bother me.
Just one man’s opinion of someone that will never own an PO.
To me it looks like omega grabbed their best design elements from past seamasters and mish mashed them together without regard.
The lug ends are extremely angular and the polished centre links could have been brushed with each centre link facet polished.
The remaining polished centre link at the lugs when using a strap looks like there was no regard for a strap to be fitted and was an afterthought.
All of this and charging $15,000 aud is a bit rich.
Love the brand, love past models but I am the one Thierry was talking about but regarding the planet ocean.
Pic of my railmaster for a watch that in my opinion they got spot on.
The Ploprof is such an awesome piece to wear around, I've never had so many people come up and ask about it, even more of a dude magnet than a rare sports car.
The only watch i ever get compliments on is my modern steel Ploprof. It's pretty crazy because I mostly were Speedmaster watches.
I have the Gen 1 and Gen 3, and frankly I am not feeling this new update.
I think it lost a lot more than it gained.
I'm happy for those that like it, and I'm sure it is an excellent watch. But I feel that it is not really a successor of the previous ones.
Which size is that Gen.3? Such a gorgeous watch!
Even if I like some aspects of the new model (I generally love me some polished facets and shiny chamfers) this classic look with the lyre lugs, HEV and the tool-bracelet just seems more timeless to me.
