Still one of my favorite cases

Absolutely in love with these 2 still. Maybe considered vintage by some, and some will like the new versions better, but maybe the most comfortable watches in my collection, whether on the rubber deployment or the original bracelets

They're classics! For me when I think of an Omega Seamaster this era comes to mind. That's what got it all started for me. However, by the time I purchased my first it was the updated 2220.80 used in Casino Royale.

My passion for Chronograph watches had me interested in that version first, and a few years after selling the non-chrono I bought a 2225.80.

Absolutely loved it but ended up parting ways during a trade (no regrets).

Luckily for me I was able to win an eBay auction 3 years ago for a full set which just so happened to be purchased from the AD I saw the original at for the first time in the early 2000s.



That's been with me ever since and will be kept for life.

yeah many collection is missing a diver 300m, the current iteration is just a tad too large for my tastes, I do hope they release a midsize or updated case soon.

I have the 2280 and 2254 and those are my all-time favourites. I usually wear my 2254 on the Forstner 1450 bracelet and I find it to be very comfy. I love the rubber straps and deployant you got there!
