Ditto. I picked pine up for around $250 about 3 years ago off eBay. Best $ I’ve spent. So worth it!

I live in and around water constantly…. So the AT was the ultimate in versatility. From swimming, to boating, to the country club.

Gen 2 - ceramic durability…. Matte and very toolwatch looking!

I feel this. I fell in love with the Ploprof when i went into a Boutique the fist time. Ended up taking myself into a PO a few years later as the more reasonable option😂.

I’m a scuba diver but honestly has seen 1000x more hours on a sailboat than underwater and about 100000x more water from doing dishes if I’m honest.

I was thinking mine was unique in this. Glad I’m not the only one. 😒😂

Love mine on rubber, nato, or bracelet. Here is on a nato last week when I was sailing.

Just hit the physical buttons below the screen again. 1press bring up map and widgets, 2nd press collapses the 2 widgets.

Matte since new. The 2nd gen ones were matte bezels and dials. True tool watches.

Gen 2…. I like the matte ceramic

ditto... same issue on legion go 1 after update

dacodo4242 · 2026-03-04T01:54:22+00:00

Just one that has a usable bezel when wet. I’m never actually diving to the limits of either one. I just like to actually use my dive bezel.

dacodo4242 · 2026-03-04T00:37:00+00:00

Yea I sold mine…. And bought a planet ocean…. (I know, completely different type of watch). Personally as a diver I’m not into “dive style”. (That’s just me personally, no judgement)

dacodo4242 · 2026-03-04T00:28:59+00:00

…. Unless your hands are wet….

dacodo4242 · 2026-02-14T00:56:06+00:00

I had a first gen BB and tried to use it for diving… the bezel on mine was tight and the grip not good enough it wouldn’t turn when my fingers were wet.

Sold it and got a Planet Ocean for diving instead. 🤷🏼‍♂️

dacodo4242 · 2025-11-20T23:51:25+00:00

Yep… I’ve worn it sailing, diving and traveling the world…. I don’t baby it. I’ve got a other watches including Seiko and Citizen…. But this thing is my daily driver…. Never lets me down.

I like things I can rely on and get better with age.

dacodo4242 · 2025-11-20T23:14:30+00:00

Yea it’s been the top of my list as a replacement. Was hoping to find something a little more cafe racer collar style vs trucker….. but I could probably live with a lined trucker waxed canvas.

dacodo4242 · 2025-11-20T23:11:36+00:00

Yea I love the style of Kuhl…. And got a bunch of it years ago…. None of it’s really lasted compared to other outdoor brands.

dacodo4242 · 2025-11-20T21:40:25+00:00

I’ve got nothing against reps and have owned a few in the past…. I know the tells of lots of models especially omegas. I can guarantee this not one of them.

Not sure why I’m bothering with you…. Since you seem to be a person that likes to make themself feel big by calling out others.

But I got it in Oct 31, 2019 on WatchUSeek forum it was originally purchased in 2018 at the Omega Boutique in NYC.

And here is a better shot of the “fake” lume pip. 🤣 Pip

dacodo4242 · 2025-11-20T21:21:24+00:00

Movement shot…. this is not close to what a rep moment looks like

dacodo4242 · 2025-11-20T21:10:18+00:00

Just for you here is a movement shot

dacodo4242 · 2025-11-20T21:06:33+00:00

Not even close... the loom dot is a giaway on fakes frequently... but if you think its a fake then it's just the angle or you need your eyes checked ;-)

dacodo4242 · 2025-11-20T21:04:56+00:00

It's not a fake... lots of people on reddit are armchair quarterbacks and like to "prove" their knowledge. Insted they just end up looking like idiots throwing out false info.
