How many 2254.50 Seamasters are here on the Rolex Forum?

Having the 2254 itch again....

Was wondering how many of you are owning such a beauty?

Pictures would be nice...

GJ,

You've seen the "after" photo, here's a "before":



and here it is with a couple of buddies:



You saw an "after" on the mesh but here's one on the black rubber Omega strap:



Hope you find one.

I owned one.....sold it last summer. Kinda regret it. But I picked up a white dial bond. The white dial still isn't the same. Been missing the 2254 for a while now.

Sorry for the late response but no, that is the black rubber Omega with the Omega deployant:





The black Hirsch Medici or Mobile would have a similar look for much less money.

Have a question, Fr. John. I also own a GMT "great white" I bought in 2004 as a gift to myself after returning from Iraq. Is the ref number for this watch 2254 something? Is it also considered a SMP (330m)? Thanks!

The model number of the GMT "great white", is 2538.20.00 which is a Seamaster Professional 300 M Chronometer GMT.

The full model number of the 2254, is 2254.50.00, it is a Seamaster Professional 300 M Chronometer.

The other watch shown in this tread, is the Non-America's Cup 2230.50.00, it is a Seamaster Professional 300 M Chronometer with a white gold bezel.

Wow, those are simply gorgeous. In fact I can't decide which I like best. That blue is unique and a blue I have never seen before, very nice.

Will you guys stop it!

You're driving me crazy.

I love my 2234.50 but now you've got me wondering if it needs a companion. I'm about ready to call my Omega connection and see if he has a new-old-stock 2254.50 hanging around.

Stop it!

Have one that is about 5 years old and have loved it, trying to decide if I want to keep it or sell and put the proceeds towards the purchase of a new watch.

I have one........

My 2254.50 is my daily "beater/sports watch". I sent it to the Omega Service Center via my AD for a routine service and it came back looking brand new and running + 2 sex/day.

I actualy prefer its fit on my wrist to my ROlex Sub. The 2254.50 seems to fit more like my very favorite Rolex GMT on my wrist.

Beautiful watch and beautiful photo. Actually, the Bond bracelet makes your watch the model 2055 not 2255.

A classic. I love wearing mine. Understated, classic styling, with some modern flourishes like the wave pattern on the dial. Very reliable. Looks great on different straps. I have a nato for it as well as an Omega rubber strap.
