Ok, so the PloProf 1200m I have I am not loving 1000%, just too big for my skinny wrists. I wil lhappily wear it on occasion or stick it away. But if a suitable trade came up on WUS, then who knows. Well I was offered these two as a trade, what do you think?
1)Omega Speedy Alaska project - everything - LNIB
2)1974 Omega Marine Chronometer purchased from org. owner. Runs great
and in extremely nice condition for the age. Included is NOS crystal and gasket.

If I had the PloProf ...
1) I like it, but not enough to want one on my wrist.
2) No, not for me.
It's your choice at the end of the day - You're the one wearing it
If you sell the PloProf on, take some time to choose your next watch. Considering you'll get several £K for the PP, you've got lots of options, be it mainstream manufacturers or something a little different!
Rather than the Project Alaska, have you considered a Snoopy Speedmaster? Pretty damn cool, and it's a classic watch that will probably go up in price ... You've just got to find one though!

Me, I like the Alaska Project...............
I nearly bought one a year or so back - BNIB from one of the grey dealers, but I thought it was a bit expensive at the time. Given the opportunity again, I'd buy it. They are fairly rare, and I think that will help them hold their value in the longer term.
On the downside, if you were to wear it with the outer case on - although I can't imagine why anyone would do that - it will make the PloProf look like a kid's toy.
FWIW, I bought a PloProf at the same time you did, and although it takes a bit of getting used to, it is very wearable. Size wise, it is smaller than the Panerai 312 I'm wearing as I type this. It is however about twice the weight......... on the mesh anyway.

TBH, a normal speedy doesn't interest me that much, and I am not worried about staying with Omega. Would rather get a SH Breguet or Blancpain etc, or the Rolex YM 16622 I have been offered. The worth of the PloProf is a difficult one right now, due to recent sales. I Am happy to wear it, and the size and weight are ok for me, I just think maybe it would be more fun flipping it up a few levels slowly.
