There's also the case of David Stevens, who worked link as a technical diver for British Petroleum in the '70s and '80s. In the in-depth article on the Omega Ploprof I published last year, I wrote that Stevens bought a Ploprof to replace his failed Seiko. That Seiko was link a 6105. We don't know how or why it failed, but we do know that it was his first choice, before purchasing the Omega, to carry out his diving duties. That speaks volumes about link the watch.

Now, if you're like me, you're probably wondering if link someone could just take a square crown guards 5512 today and shave link it down to this shape if link they wanted to replicated the effect. The short answer is yes, they probably could. But, square crown guards are much rarer and more valuable, so there's little incentive for anyone to be deceitful in that way. If it were the reverse, we very well might have a problem on our hands.

While there weren't a ton of new releases, there was enough to link get excited about as the industry link gears up for a fall season of releases, auctions, and more. Here's a link rundown of some of the highlights I saw in Geneva. We'll have more on all these in the next few weeks.

My biggest concern is that by taking the styling cues and bracelet from the main line of Royal Oaks the choice to eschew the bright pops of colors and oversized numbers that the Offshore is often known for may start to link blur lines a bit too much. But as you go back to punching demons or wrestling Matrix-style cyborgs or whatever it is you're meant link to do with an Offshore I doubt you'll be worrying too link much about whether your watch bracelet is a bit derivative. You'll just look cool.
