So I found myself without a diver and longed for my first love, my modded 2254.50 with the non-AC dial and 2500 PO second hand. A quick click of www.watchrecon.com revealed an identically modded 2254.50 for sale. Done deal:
Love the simplicity, "Speedy" bracelet, slim case, and accuracy/reliability of the tried and true cal. 1120 movement.

Couldn't agree more. Much like yourself, I just keep coming back to the 2254.50 so it must be 'the one' for me. And the non-AC dial and PO second hand is a genuine improvement IMO. I'm due to receive mine back next week with an additional PO crystal and bezel to boot. This is what I can't wait to see (pics borrowed from WUS)...
