Omega 2251.50

Hello,

I have become quite interested in purchasing a Seamaster 2251.50 however am having a hard time trying to source a store that actualy has any in stock. I have attached some photos of the watch as if your anything like me serial numbers are of no real help.

It is such an understated watch but very beautiful in my eyes. A perfect watch. With the American excnahge rate so strong it seemed to be a logical time to pruse a purcahse.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Looks very stealthy. It's my first time seeing this model. Does it have the titanium bezel?

I don't know but from what I can see it might be a fake. Look some pictures have a white back ground for the date, others have black. I could only find this model on sites that offered replicas.

MMM god eye, they pictures with the black date I found whilst searching for more information, the others with the white dial I feel are genuine. I have attached the link to where it can be purchased in Japan but have yet to find any information of this model being sold outside of Asia. Can any experts shed some light onto this?

Cheers,

Also the seconds hand on my 2254.50 goes to the outer edge of the indice where this ones does not. Maybe a model not available in the USA.
