The move of the PloProf information to its own dedicated site will leave room at DeskDivers to focus on what we originally set out to do, namely to give you the information you couldn’t find elsewhere about rare dive watches...
Now, of course to celebrate the new site and these changes, we’ve got a superb (if we say so ourselves) article just round the corner for you. Its probably the biggest and best work we’ve done to date and we think you will be impressed... It will be released shortly so please keep checking back on the site.
Latest Update... NEW Anonimo Polluce Article
After all the recent excitement with the birth of our new baby, PloProf.com (focusing purely on the Omega PloProf), you could be forgiven for thinking that we might neglect its elder DeskDivers sibling, but like all good parents we can assure you that’s just not going to be the case! So, with the creation of the new ‘PloProf only’ website, DeskDivers.com can now get back to focusing on what it does best: Namely bringing you in depth information about those watches its impossible to learn about elsewhere. So to help it get back on track and to also celebrate all the recent changes we’ve made to the websites, we’ve got something very special for you indeed and one of our posh mates has called it our ‘magnum opus’, whatever that is... We hope its a good thing! :)
The article starts with a short story of mystery, intrigue and deception which leads directly to the birth of a technical marvel with Italian flair - No other watch can offer that kind of backstory! As some of you may know, this article took some time to come to fruition due to the volume of research that was needed to be completed to do justice to this special timepiece. The full story or the Anonimo Polluce is a great yarn and the information gathered about the Polluce wreck and the efforts to salvage her, the Anonimo company and also the Sellita SW200 movement is all revealed along the way. We just know you will like this one and its been suggested that it should come with a warning... Perhaps, ‘Surgeon General’s Warning: be aware it will take you around 2 hours to read this in one sitting’... but like all good warnings, we should ignore them and simply ‘Enjoy’!
