BadPickle 2,747 Posted June 14, 2023 Need a Ploprof but can’t afford the gen, and some crazy rep hoarders won’t part with theirs…. you know who you are Nobby well this is the purchase for you https://www.steeldives.com/products/steeldive-sd1988-monobloc-professional-diver-watch looks pretty much on the money, even comes with a mesh bracelet if that’s your thing, looks a better all round finish than the Helson 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,751 Posted June 14, 2023 I wonder if they have changed it. It's $80 more than it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dylan88888 24 Posted June 14, 2023 It’s a big bugger of a watch and it’s got me salivating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APjumbo 3,031 Posted June 14, 2023 I think the SD1988 is a newer version Mine is the SD1969 with a custom dial. The crown looks different between the two Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abe Fromen 1,620 Posted June 14, 2023 Always liked the looks of them and that one looks amazing but good grief... 55mm case! That's YOUUUUUUGE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deju 1,875 Posted June 16, 2023 White ploppy, did wonder why vsf didn't step up for the new colour ways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of the perceived demand, this would not be a big seller. Very niche and they were giving them away the first time they made them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,747 Posted June 16, 2023 The Gen is Remarkably comfortable to wear, I tried one in the Trafford centre omega store many moons ago, had to quickly slip off my rep Pam 341 EGI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cap'n 930 Posted June 16, 2023 My local AD (Omega boutique in Meadowhall’) must have rung me about 4 times over the last 6 weeks (he knows I like big watches) about one they have in stock and haven’t been able to sell. Always said no as it really doesn’t float my boat. Relented last time and called in to see it and try it on. I still don’t like it and told him not to ring me about it again!
