    Hi,
    There is an open bidding on ebay, no box nor papers, history unknown.
    While I am quite positive that a movement is real and a bezel insert isn't, I like the hands and dial too, but a crown., caseback.. and bracelet (especially how the endlinks fit to the case)...
    I don't know what to think about them.
    They do not look like 2254 posted here, on WUS or Chrono.
    Endlinks do not have a stamp, but I understand the stamp was on the late models only.

    Beside the Omaga globe, I don't know about any other changes between the early and late 2254 models.
    What do you think? This is the early Omega watch or it's just not genuine watch?

    Thanks

    Maybe a 2255.80?

    Is the dial blue? Can’t really tell from the pics.

    Also what’s with the pitting on the rotor?

    These are the ebay photos not mine.
    Dial looks black to me.

    The bracelet, bezel and case look totally fake. Movement and dial may be genuine. I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

    I agree. Underside of the case is not finished correctly, chamfers on lower case sides are way too big, bezel numbers should be recessed and filled with paint and are just painted on...lots of things wrong here.

    All the time I owned my 2254.50 and I didn't know it had an anti-magnetic shield between the movement and caseback?...really? If that's the case then it's an incredible feat considering how slim this model is.
    The clasp looks wrong as does the caseback: the sloppiness of the Seamaster" script and the waves don't look right.
