  • The case is a mark 1, as is the bezel, but the dial is from the mark 2 period. That said, it's one of the rarer dials - never officially produced, but found in sufficient numbers to be given a specific identity (D5, Ploprof fans).

    D3 black, which according to the author of the Omega Ploprof site is Mark 2 period.

    I can't see that the D3 is a Mk2 only dial on omegaploprof.com - can you point me to where this information is? The watch you've posted seems to be entirely consistent with the Mark 1 design, all parts are mark 1 including the dial.
    Here's a couple of Mk1 examples from well respected collectors:

    The movement is too early - it's of a series that were never put into the Ploprof at manufacture, so it's been swapped in likely at a service.

    What is the movement in the watch?

    290XXXXX 1002 - too early for the watch, again according to the author of the Ploprof site.

  • Seems like getting a ‘correct’ plop plop isn’t easy.

  • He's making a very contentious statement and many people would disagree. This is the nature of vintage collecting, there is only consensus, not absolute truth. For example, I posted several examples of D3 dials on 1 style cases with B1 bezels above, held by other respected collectors who consider these as complete Mk1 watches. Anyway, I don't care much to disagree with your conclusion, just be aware that there are fewer experts than claimed experts in the field of vintage watches.

  • 290XXXXX 1002 - too early for the watch, again according to the author of the Ploprof site.

    29,000,000 serial number is correct for 1970 manufacture (1971 sale) according to Sheldon Brown Chuck Maddox.

    Which is consistent with a Mk1 Ploprof...
