Here are some press files pictures I found in my hard disk. 











In comparison, the Omega Plo Prof and the AP Royal Oak are altar boys.   wink

The case is structural and strong, and it makes me want to own one. The dial is an oddball. Not to say that there are not successful oddball dials, but the date here (aside from the deep recess, kind of cool on this type of watch) really bothers me. Yet t...
