I really wanted a Classic and got one... 2254.50. Exactly what I was hoping for. And, Im sure a new one would be out of my price range. :doh:

AC = America’s Cup version

Thanks so much Rob! This watch is dope and I really do love it. I am a Omega convert and the 2245.5 is such a great place to start!

So great of you to offer it to me. It's in good hands now! :thumbsup: :dance: :cheers:

:cheers: Thanks - that’s very cool. Seems like this model has been bringing smiles for awhile. A friend who’s a Rolie snob commented to me last night that the 2254.5 is “ Best of Rolex taken a step further IMHO”. Those are big words from him. My next question for the collective - how do I find the build date/year?

Never mind. I found the sn and it’s in the 80m range putting the watch 2006-2007 era.

Better question: what years did they make this?
