I didn’t care much for the words. Not even a big fan of Clooney although I did like The American very much. It’s what was on his wrist that got my attention. I’m sure the small group of 2254 fans here will find this interesting

+1 on The American

If he weren’t wearing a Moonwatch it might have been the 2254😉

Hehe yes. But he’d probably fumble with the bezel :-)

Indeed. And I’m not even a big fan. Has a Steve McQueen vibe to it.

I had a 2254 for a while ...

... but shifted it. Just can't bring myself to like the Seamaster shape. Would like to try a Goldeneye blue professional, but I'm sure I'd wear it once and sell it.

Understandable. It is a period watch arguably. But as far as dated looks go, this one dates very well as a 90’s design vs others.
