Alligator attack! Luckily it missed the watch, so none of its teeth got hurt.

I keep looking at the 2254s, and I must say they're floating my boat more & more. However I do prefer the applied indicies look of the non ac dial variant. Doesn't look to be a common mod presently.

Whilst I do like the current non date monochrome Seamaster, the size & lumed bezel are off putting. But also maybe worth seeing how Omega evolve this line up going forward.

Prices for the 2254 aren't crazy, is it best looking for a separate non ac dial and retro fit, or look at 2230 and fit the black bezel?

I sooo wanted a 2254 10-12 years ago, but it never happened. Probably a good thing, since most of the watches I bought 10-12 years ago are all gone now. But in my (recently) retired ease, I am allowing Seamasters to accumulate in my house. I just picked this complete set up from a dear friend, and I can't believe how lovely this watch is.

We arrived late at the cottage and the 2254 was pressed into service as a steak timer. 😀

Laying floor boards with my Peter Blake.
Removing the skirting boards(?) Nearly there after a lot of bitching and moaning. As Bruce Willis said " I am too old for this shit". Crawling around on my hands and knees in not my thing any moore. Luckily I ran out of boards before the tricky stuff. Now my old bones are complaining and I totally agree. And now ms hen wants me to take her to a punk consert, damn it I need to act my age.

Doing some "watch making" on a dial indicator. The M2 screws leaped off the table and down to the floor. I dont know how watch makers do all those fiddly things.

Are you sure it wasn't Danny Glover? 😉

Oh yes it was Danny Glover for sure. I remember now. I'm too old to remember stuff, thanks for reminding me.

Just in. My what a good looking watch. In pretty good nick as well. Running at about +5 spd during normal wear but loses crown up overnight so spot on in the morning.

Just changed to winter tyres. 225/20 is just to big for my small Volvo. So one in the passenger seat, two in the back seat and the last in the boot. Things were easier with the 155/13 on my first car.
And the 2254 was with me timing the whole process to 20 min all together without an pneumatic bolt driver.

Given the aesthetics of the new Planet Ocean, can a 2254 refresh be coming soon?

Hope so!
