If the strap width fits the lugs of your watch, I dont see why not? :)

OK boss! Haha. Give them links. Haha. But usually new watch owners won't hoot this. 2254 has a cult following one.

men of taste appreciate the omega 2254.50 cos its "grammar of design" (to appropriate Seiko's 70s design tour de force when designing its king seikos) is just so well articulated.

it's large triangle and generous coffin hour lume markers harkens back to its true roots as an operational diver in the seamaster 300 indented by the uk ministry of defence in the 60s and 70s. the 2254.50 were also issued to various branches of the uk sbs and naval divers up until relatively recently.

I think a new matching watch strap (whether nato or leather) would give your adidas santiago watch a new look you will fall in love, tictactor.

Do give Mr Ricky Hoo a call before you go down to his shop.

Are you Ricky Hoo? How's business doing? Rentals getting too high to sustain?
How come you have no other comments other than directing readers to a very specific watch shop in a very expensive district in Singapore leh?

Very interesting indeed..

ok its true la. i was poison way back in 2009 before i enlisted and it was already discon.

forgot about it and it came back right after i saw it again on carousell.
then read up more, there's a group of people loving it, modding it with different dials
