First of all im not sure if a 2004 watch is classed as modern or vintage but anyway I fancied another seamaster to go with my white dialled 2020 seamaster. I decided on a 2255.80 with all box and papers and even purchase receipt. It arrived yesterday and im very happy with the watch as seems in good original condition.

 

Congratulations on your purchase!
Eventually, I'm going to get around to acquiring a SMP with sword hands.

And the lighting on the blue dial is very cool !

 

I think I might put a yellow nato strap on it as not a great fan of steel bracelets

 

Excellent choice

 

Looks great mate - keep it on the bracelet I say!

 

It is a stunning watch and the blue is really electric. It goes well with the bracelet but even better with canvas straps.

 

Im going to buy an omega nato but so many to choose from so haven't decided which one yet

 

Very nice, congrats!

 

I have always loved the Omegas from that time frame...the hands, proportions, all of it. I also love blue dials...so that watch is a big win in my opinion.
I may have to keep an eye out. I think that blue dial and a great white would be a nice brace of watches to own.

 

Can I ask you the dimensions of the watch? Case size and lug to lug. It’s very nice I think I like the sword hands a little more than the skelotonized ones

 

Case is 41 and L2L 47.

 

Great watch - a real classic. I much prefer the sword hands and would love to get my hands on one of these one day...

 

I have a a new white dialled seamaster with the black ceramic bezel, this one and I want the great white and then will have 3 great watches

 

These seem to have jumped in value recently, including the 2254.
