2254.50 New old Stock (hard to find?)
I see I just missed one on TRF. Does anyone know how hard a NOS 2254.50 is to come by? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I searched here and WUS and couldn't find anything recent about it...Also, any owners on here have the OEM Rubber fitted to share their thoughts on comfort? I have the newer stitched rubber and depoylant and love it in the pool and shower and hot days. Curious if the other rubber strap with tang buckle is just as comfy or more comfy. Thanks!

my first Omega watch
Here is my omega seamaster 300m that i bought 2 years ago.

Incoming vintage Seamaster
Bought purely on its classic looks, and Omega's reputation in the 40s, 50s and 60s, a 1952 Seamaster with bumper winding and subsidiary seconds. I know nothing about these, any knowledge / comments would be appreciated..finewatchco/OmegaSeamasterSMT1010.html

Help Understanding the 233
I am fairly new to Panerai, and certainly have the bug. My first two pieces in the last year are a 111 and 388, as I wanted a Luminor and Radiomir. I am ready to add a historic piece which will likely be a 372. However, the more I explore the more I am drawn to the 233.With all the talk about base, clean dials, and a general less is more appeal - why does the 233 seem to overcome the desire for simplicity, and be so well received by many of the aficionados on here?I am leaning towards the 233, and would just like more thoughts on why this piece fits into a collection.Thanks,Will

First Rolex incoming!
Hi guys, need to share my excitement with you. My Rolex journey has been a rather odd one. I got into watches couple of years ago. From the start, I was 100% certain that I would never own a Rolex. I just didn't like what you typically associate with the brand or people who wear them (please don't kick me out and keep reading). Over the years, I bought 2 Omegas (Speedy Pro & Seamaster PO GMT), 2 Breitlings (Superocean Heritage 46 & Transocean 1461), a Tudor (Black Bay Heritage S&G), a Sinn (104), a Tag Heuer (Link) and some Seikos (SKX, Samurai, Cocktail Time). And while I love all of these watches, the more I learned about Rolex, its history and its horological significance, the more intrigued I was. It was clear: I needed to have one. I've been hunting a BLNR for months now here in Australia and it's almost impossible. They sell used ones 15% over MSRP and new ones at 30-40%. After doing some research here one the forum and the countless people very happy with purchasing
