Re: I don't think they ever made one

The "Plongeur Professional" was only offered in the 9 O'clock placement. My ploprof needed work on the bracelet and I sent it to a watchmaker I used to use. when it returned he had "fixed it" by spinning the dial. Total idiot by the way, but anyway, when I sent it to Omega service @ swatchgroup service/swisswatch technical, they stated in the estimate that the dial was in the incorrect position. But with the dial in the incorrect position it kept perfect time, and the date worked fine. I think, as I have seen it posted elsewhere, some divers from COMEX and other pro dive companies, who happened to be lefties, had the dial spun to make it easier to access the bezel lock. Just my opinion, but I have been investigating these since I bought mine in 1996 from a customer for $100.00. Man I wish I could buy 100 for that price. anyway.....
