Right crown - left pusher Ploprofs are the result . . .
. . . of watchmakers ordering replacement date wheels by caliber rather than reference number. The date wheel for Ploprofs is specific to ref 166.0077.

Prototypes are possible but certainly fewer than reported examples in the wild.

I've been bitten by the PloProf bug lately
Have been looking both at vintage ones like yours and the modern version. My trouble is that I'm a right-wrister, and with that huge crown assembly sticking out the left side of the case, the watch is clearly made for left wrists. I wonder whether it can ...

I'd heard the dial flip story...
I had not heard the prototype story! The good thing about the dial flip story is it had me imagining getting a new one (a no-date titanium model) and paying a watchmaker to flip the dial for me. Not something I'm likely to actually do, but a fun idea.

That watch looks perfectly at home on that (right) wrist of yours!
Looks like it might be a bit much for the scale, though! I can almost here it groaning under the weight.
You gave him . . .
