Welcome to the Helson Sharkmaster 600 LOVE Fest ;-)

Here it is on the Orange Bonetto Cinturini

That's a win!!

How does it differ?

I think he is referring to the fact that the original ploprof didn't have the screw in the back which holds the ETA movement-

How does it differ?

The original Omega 600m PloProf did not have a hole in the back of the case.

[Ames]

The original Omega 600m PloProf did not have a hole in the back of the case.

How does a hole make it not a monoblock? There is a hole in the front of the case for the dial also. It's not like the hole in back is used to attach a door or more case onto the case.

[Beater]

Iwas going to ask what that screw in the back of the otherwise monocoque case was? To hold an eta??? Never seen that before...

Also, what does this Helson piece cost compared to an excellent condition omega ploprof original?

[Beater]

I'm just guessing here... that because it has that screw, it's no longer 'mono' (one part case) but two? Could the screw also allow Helson to slither through a copyright clause...which have probably long expired anyway?

[Clockwork Blue]

How was the Omega movement secured in the original ploprof?

[KarenChezk]

The original Omega 600m PloProf did not have a hole in the back of the case.

I second that 110% doesn't have a hole there, mate

Here's a website with a lot of great info about the original-
