. . . the restoration. Do you know if the date wheel was replaced? Ploprof date wheels are basically impossible to find on the open market, which has led to 'reversed' examples due to incorrect date wheels for other 100x movements being fitted. The Ploprof has a unique date wheel that has to be ordered by the case reference instead of the movement number. Unfortunately, they're extremely difficult to source now from third party suppliers - that's why I'm asking if you know if yours was replaced. That would indicate Omega still has correct Ploprof date wheels in stock.
I wasn't aware replacement crystals are now sapphire - that's both interesting and disconcerting. Ploprof owners should take note.
Cordially,

I heard recently from a couple of Omega boutiques in Paris that the titanium Ploprof is no longer produced. Either nobody wants it and it costs more than its revenue, or they're preparing for a replacement. I just hold once the steel and once the titanium...
