Hello all. I just wanted to say hello. New to the forum but have been an omega fan for the last 15 years. I purchased a 2254.50 as a birthday present to myself 13 years ago. Love the watch. Recently inherited am old datejust from my late father. I do like how the watch looks but in my opinion, nothing feels more comfortable or looks as good on the wrist as the old wave dial and sword hands. Anyone else have one of these beauties?

 

Hi, I'm new too. Have never really been that interested in watches but I decided to purchased my first Speedmaster earlier this year with some money I'd been left and now I'm hooked. Currently searching for a birth year Speedy.

 

Welcome both

I like the 2254.50 a lot and wished I purchased one 13 years ago They seem to creep up in value quite a bit ever since. Next year is a big one for the Seamaster 300M (25th anniversary) so let's see what Omega is going to come up with. Normally they don't let these things go by unnoticed.

 

I have always thought the wave dial looked so much better than the current one. Don't get me wrong the lacquered dial is gorgeous but the wave dial is what set the seamaster professional apart from the sub in terms of appearance. Just like rolex uses the Cyclops as their 'calling card'.

I did want to ask what you guys think of the 1120 movement in comparison to the 2500 currently being used. I see a lot of mixed reviews on other forums/websites. Anyone have any experience in that area?

Thanks

 

It's nice to talk but the pictures are better..they talk a lot more....welcome to the forum

 

How do I post a pic?

 

Welcome people, if I were you, I’d download the tapatalk app, it makes it much easier to browse and post pictures.

I tried to figure it out. Unfortunately I'm a bit tech illiterate.

 

yes
Love it

 

Looks fantastic. Have you had any issues with the bracelet stretch? I have noticed some wear in mine. Which is odd because it gets a weekly bath with warm soapy water and a soft tooth brush. What do you guys think about swapping the bravely for a new speedy bracelet with the screws instead of pins and a new slide extension? Or should I just leave it be? Still my favorite timepiece.

 

Have noticed no issues with bracelet stretch
