: Thank you for the information :)

: The luminescent mark (what's the english word?)
: on position 3 o'clock was slightly shortened on
: the 2255.80 (also the date window seems to
: be nearer to the right edge of the watch)

: I hope you can see the picture below.
: On the left you can see the 2055.80 with
: "old" bracelet and on the right
: the 2255.80. (the 22 model I saw at my
: jeweler had that shortened mark also, so I
: guess it's an official change of the design)

: Regards,

I am looking at my watch, which I know is a 2055.80, (full-size , auto. with bond bracelet) purchased in January 2001, and the marker looks like what you claim is the 2255.80. The only thing I can imagine is that your pictures are accidentally "mixing" quartz and automatic models of this watch. The longer marker at 3:00 has been noted before as being on the quartz model.
