·Well, looks like a 2254.50 is on it's way to me. No box but hang tag, warranty card, and all the bracelet links are included. Excited to pair this with my 2298.80 and hope to get the green Seamaster Pro eventually.

I have a 2534.50 and I love it. It's the one that came with the bond style bracelet with the sliding clasp, but I also own a 2265.80 which means I can interchange the bracelets. It's for sure a bold design but at the same time it's also clean; the relative lack of text on the dial with the splash of red colour is just the right combination for me.
Can't really speak to how long it holds up on accuracy since I've only had it a few months, but so far it's very consistent, just over 3s slow a day, every day when worn (which it's had plenty of so far).
Thanks for the info! I’ve got my eye on a couple right now, so I hope to have one wrapped around my wrist soon too.
I find the NTTD (my current watch) to be such a pretty watch it’ll be hard to let go of, but it’s lack functionality is very problematic. I might keep the mesh, though, it’ll fit the 2234.50 and I find it very comfortable. I’m not really a fan of the Bond bracelets, as I like a bracelet to taper. The ones I’m looking at are on the Speedy style bracket, but I’m not sure they taper enough, so it might end up on the NTTD mesh.

··Not in LA anymore.Completely agree with Al. Same as the Rolex Daytona nicknamed "Paul Newman" or the Universal Geneve "Eric Clapton". All of these (and the numerous names given Heuer models) come from the collector community. It is unusual for Omega to use the name of a person, although I believe the 2536.50.00 Limited Edition piece was created with "Gerry Lopez". Even the "Bond" SM300M series acquired that name after appearing in the movie series.
Just to complete the record here, I don't get many chances to show off the uniqueness of the Gerry Lopez variant of the 50th Anniversary GMT. Besides the amazingly beautiful medallion on the back, the bracelet includes a wetsuit extension -- kind of surprising for a GMT watch. But not really surprising, because Lopez is a legendary pro surfer. I've done quite a bit of sleuthing trying to find an image of Lopez wearing his namesake watch, without success. But I did find some photos with him wearing a Rolex pepsi GMT.

·Ah, the Gerry Lopez! That is still on my grail list...Love that caseback medallion! I just recently picked up a 50th Anniversary SMP, which interestingly does not have a nick name that I can find. Was it that rare that the community left the naming to Omega?

·I've always been quite enamored of the Sword hands seamasters, especially the Peter Blake models. I came very close to getting one when I picked up my 233.30. Thinking about adding a 2264.50 as a first quartz Omega.
