and this is looking for 1/2 second on the web. It is not new, but almost certainly as new.
Otherwise log-in on TZ UK.

The technical specification is just at the top.
No other watch comes near it??

If someone can point me to a £4.5 brand new one, I'd be tempted not to buy a new Triumph this summer!

Alas not new and a 2007 modle. I believe it has been updated???

I do like the PolProf though!

As a review stated
"Does the PloProf ‘work’ in the modern world? Well… Women find it ugly and men find it beautiful! However, men do seem to be entranced by objects that are large, technical and contain blue and orange elements. There is a distinct air of industrial design about the watch that fits well with current trends".

Seems to appeal to my Industrial character!
At leat one of my watches got covered in crude oil last year!

But my wrist is 8 1/8 inches and I do prefere larger style watches.
Just today gave a 40mm Sub style diver to my daughter, as it just looked too small to me since I started to wear larger dials. Not sure if she will wear it much??

Anyway, as the Deepsea in not a "Popular" watch it appeals to me even more!

if you search hard enough on the 2nd hand market, some nearly brand new DS are going for sub £4,500. You won' t find this on p-heads though. Need to look a little harder..
I almost bought one until I tried it on. The problem is how thick this watch is. Much thicker than a panerai luminor 44mm for example. The bracelet is normal rolex type. So it looks very strange in the flesh.
I disagree I think it looks spot on, I don't think the bracelet looks too small at all. If anything the new deep sea looks quite puny against watches like the 55mm U-boat I saw at the Basel fair.
And that will look puny compared to Big Ben
