In Response To: Omega 2455.80 & 2455.50 ()

: How does the Omega 2455.80 (electric blue)
: & 2455.50 (black) SS/14K yellow gold
: models compare with the 2533.50 AC limited
: edition & newer 2230.50 SS/4K white gold
: models? Also, what is the quality and
: suggested care/maintenance for the 14K gold
: in these bezels and the 2455 bracelets and
: has anyone had problems with bezels
: spotting? How many of the 2455's and 2230.50
: were made compared to the 9999 2533.50's AC
: limited editions- maybe these models are
: really more limited? And, were the 2455's
: also made in a midsize model?

Do any authorized dealers still have these watches in "old stock", since Omega doesn't make these watches any more, and what are the current selling prices and discounts compared to the orginal MSRPs - $2995 for 2455s, and $2695 for 2533 & 2230??

Watch Differences - I know the newer 2230.50 has the the applied markers and Omega logo with new style bracelet, the 2533.50 AC has the limited edition engraved on case side and numbered back with 007 style bracelet, and the 2455's have the 2-tone 007 gold bracelets and gold watch hands. The other features should be the same SMP for all these watches, and the gold raised numbers bezels should all be the same?

Still don't know which of these wathces should be considered the rarest, and most stylish - personal preferences? Also, opinions about the "electric blue" dial versus the black dial on the 2455's; and has anyone had problems cleaning or caring for the 18K (not 14K) bezels with scuff marks or contrasting spots/color near the raised surfaces and rest of the dull gold surfaces - yellow or white?
