Finally got my hands on a 2254.50!

Finally sourced a LNIB 2254.50 right here on TRF. Thanks George (Kringkily) for the beautiful watch. I can't take my eyes off it!!

I've debating whether to sell my sub and get a 2254.50. Great looking watch. Nice choice!

The 2254.50 is a great Seamaster! Fr. John put me on to one of the last of the new ones in the U.S. several years ago. I really enjoy that classic Omega! Cheers, Bill P.

Awesome watch. When I bought my Omega I was really in the market for the 2254.50 but my 2225.80 Chrono Diver was such a good deal that I couldn't pass it up. Enjoy your watch.

Congrats on a great pick up.

Here's the one I owned after I added a non-America's Cup dial:



It was edged out of my collection by my PO LM LE.

Love the dial swap! Did you do it yourself or send it to a watchmaker? I was thinking of doing the same thing with a dial from Ofrei...

Love that dial upgrade upgrade Fr. John! Does your AD sell these dials or am I limited to Otto Frei?

Great watch. The 2254.50 was the first "nice" watch that I bought. Still have it today and recently I've been wearing it on a Zulu strap. Very comfortable for the summer months.

No, my dealer has an Omega accessories account but no parts. Any watchmaker with an Omega account can source them or you can try Ofrei.
