Del 4,473 Posted June 11, 2011 Hello and welcome! You'll want a v2 Plop with Asian clone or Swiss ETA movement. Many of the trusted dealers can supply this like Watch International and ReplicaMake - check out the trusted dealers sections. I'm sure some others will be along soon to advise where they got their Plop (I don't actually own one). Enjoy the forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
powderfreak 0 Posted June 11, 2011 Hey, welcome! Enjoy rwg and be ready to spend some money +1 to what Del said. But I would recommend to do a lot of reading before you actually buy your first watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

digger2 0 Posted June 11, 2011 I advice you to think it over. what purpouse are the watch for? if you just want a wproof watch that fools 99,99% of all people mayby you should go for the "1.5" and buy another watch for the rest of the money. Just my 2c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legger 0 Posted June 11, 2011 I bought a v2 from Mary and I cannot fault it. Other dealers here can supply the same watch. Welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddo 0 Posted June 12, 2011 Hello! Welcome! You shouldn't have any delivery issues in the UK. So, your dealer choices are numerous. Some dealers have already been suggested. I would go with those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted June 12, 2011 Welcome to RWG! As others have said, you'll want the v2 version with the Asian clone ETA movement - WatchInternational (Mary) is probably your best source for this. MReplica would be the other strong contender. If you want to save a little dough, there's a version (sometimes called the v1.5) with a 21J movement that's pretty good at around half the price ($148) - very few dealers sell it, however. Trusty Time (you'll find the link on the Trusted Dealer List) is one of the few that carries that version. I'd go for the more expensive one as above, however, if you can - it's worth it. The PloProf comes on a rubber strap (black or orange generally) - if you want the mesh bracelet, you'll then need to go to www.suppaparts.com and order their shark mesh bracelet for it. It's quite similar to the Omega bracelet and fits the clasp that you'll get with the watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted June 12, 2011 This is the so-called v1.5 ploprof (because it's a half-way stage between the original rep and the current v2, but less expensive than either due to the 21j movement). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
