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!

The one you missed on TRF was the first NOS I saw in the last 3 years.

Agreed with the above. A NOS 2254.50 is going to be very hard to find. Your best bet is to buy one in excellent condition, service the movement and have the case and bracelet restored.

I tried that in 2010 when I was looking for one! I called 15-20 Omega ADs with no luck.

Good idea!

But dang..that was 4 years ago! Still might try this Friday tho. I've got hours of free time hahahaha! Man, I don't know why I didn't buy a new one years ago. I guess the movement always worried me...which is silly of me to let happen. SHM.

Found a great guy on TRF to source excellent condition one when I am ready to purchase it :-) another big purchase just took place so I have to wait on this one. Thanks all!
