Wanted one of these for years just from seeing pictures on the net, in person this diver blew me away !

This safe queen was a local pick up, all boxes, cards (dated 2008), and tags, for $2000. The hang tag list price was $2,600.

I now have my four favourite watches and my el-crapo watch box is finally full, guess it's time for a proper watch box now.

Congrats! Nice addition to your collection.

Maxtor · 24 February 2012, 07:10 AM

Very sweet collection. All icons. Enjoy the SMP. Great bull terrier illustration too.

Gharddog03 · 24 February 2012, 08:11 AM

Very nice. One of my favorite Omega's.

The 2254.50 is becoming harder and harder to find....they are starting to be appreciated by collectors who know a good thing early when they see it.

Congratulations on the new to you 2254.50! That is a true Omega classic. I got one of the last new ones that came to the USA a few years back and it is a keeper in my collection. Enjoy yours for years to come. Cheers, Bill P.

Very nice collection.

asadtiger · 24 February 2012, 05:10 PM

a perfect collection and a great addition to it

two classic divers and two great chronos

impalass · 25 February 2012, 01:00 AM

Thanks for all the positive comments guys.

Just need a Seiko Diver/beater (son borrowed mine) and my collection is done, or else she who must be obeyed, my finance minister, will walk.

Aside from my better halfs scowls I'm very pleased with my little collection.

love the el crapo watch box! Looks like the box a bottle of something half decent comes in.

Nice collection, the 2 best chronos and the 2 best looking divers.

Thanks, right you are, the box originally housed a bottle of Canadian Rye Whisky. It has a plexi glass sliding top and I purchased some inexpensive pillows on line.

Will be upgrading for sure !

I just roll mine up in a sock. Toe of the sock through the bracelet, wrap it round and fold it over, then chuck it in the box.

Makes finding the one I want tricky!
