Re: Ploprof 600 vs Americas Cup
In Response To: Ploprof 600 vs Americas Cup ()

The America's Cup is obviously a much more practical watch for everyday wear. It is an only somewhat limited watch, being that Omega made 9,999 pieces.

The Ploprof is a classic that, while a little clunky, has more historical significance and is much harder to find--especially in superior condition.

An America's Cup that was *documented* as used/owned/touched by someone on an AC team would have some significant interest and collectible value. But I suspect it would not be as significant as owning one of the older, rarer Plorpofs.

So while the AC is surely tempting, I would suggest keeping the Ploprof.
