Morning all, I've got my 2254.50 registered on Chrono24 as part of my collection and value is ever increasing, but being curious I looked to see if there were any listings for an 2254.50 watches for sale in the UK, but alas there were none. This got me curious, so I then checked Watchfinder, again, no 2254.50, is it just me or is this model getting rarer and rarer as the years go by?

These and the 42mm PO 2500 are truly affordable gems that will never go out of style compared to modern offerings.
Strangely the 2230.50 which is similar in that is has applied indicies on the dial with a WG bezel insert is trending for less.
And yet it is the smart move. I've had two 2254s, neither wowed me and they were sent packing, the 2230 non-AC model is a solid keeper, combining as it does the best of the 2201 PO with the slim profile of the SMP.
I get why people like the 2254 plain dial though, it has more in common with the '60s SM300, but if you really want one of those, there is also the Watchco!
The only reason you don’t see more 2254.50s for sale is that they’re really good watches that were a bargain when new and most of them are still on their original owners’ wrists, unserviced and still in use 15 or so years later as they’re a very durable and trouble-free watch.
Even though they’ve gone up in value they’re not worth selling as you can’t replace it with a watch anywhere near as good for the current sale price.
Totally agree… the PO 2500 is a fab alternative to 2254 on MN or bracelet!
