:think: That appears to be (or is trying to be) the vintage PloProf. But the bezel font looks off, and the Omega symbol has those "happy feet." Not sure if the old one had those or not. And the bezel locking button looks like a piece of cheap plastic. I thought the older one was aluminum, but I'm not sure on that. Bartlett has the vintage one - maybe he can post some pics of it for comparison.

I'm sure it is. It's from a well respected member of tz uk. As far as I know 600m ploprofs did have the red plastic bezel release.if I was a betting man I'd say 99.9%

I think the printed Omega logos have the happy feet.

That's WingTsun's site I believe. He's solid. Doubt that's a fake, but of course I could be wrong.

You are correct, sir. And I maybe should have checked the site background info. Anyway, you buying or what? :fro:

It doesn't have the usual tell tale signs of a fake. I'd guess "real".
