Cuervo y Sobrinos Robusto Manjuari 1882 Dual Time Diver Watch
In honor of Monty Python's Meaning of Life, let's play "find the fish." Can't find it in the watch? That is odd. Cuervo y Sobrinos named this new watch after the Manjuari - an ancient fish which goes by a lot of names and is better known as the Cuban Gar or Alligator Gar around these parts. If CyS would have called it the "Gar" (Gaaarrr!!) it would have sounded too much like a pirate watch. Wait a minute, isn't this the brand that already has pirate themed watches? Ahem, click here. Manjuari has a much more Indian than Cuban sound to it right?Anyhow, despite the excessively odd name (and scary looking pre-Cambrian fish), this watch is worth noticing as being a pretty excellent two time zone dive watch. Not a GMT exactly, but it has two time zones in 12 hour formats. This is good for people who like having two times at a glance, but aren't comfy reading time in a 24 hour format. The watch also has a big date function which I like. The only thing missing is a day/night indicator for the

Omega X-33 Question
My Omega dealer has a brand new 3290.50, AKA X-33. Any thoughts on this watch? I kind of like the looks and the idea altogether, but what is the resale value of this? Any chance of it being a collectible?EDIT: Oops, misleading title! Can't ammend it, mods please?

249 versus 448
I have been buying Panerai watches since 2005 and have three in my collection (104, 233 and 372) and was considering a forth. I've been looking at the 249 and 448 which I really like and would diversify my collection a bit. While very similar, I've noticed that prices for the 249 are quite a bit higher than 448 even though the 448 is more limited in numbers and has the in house 3000 movement. I can't really figure out why this would be the case and wondered what your thoughts were and any advise on the matter...

State of Rolex
Had some time to kill today in NYC. Visited three prominent Rolex ADs and a Rolex boutique. I found one Smurf. Other than that, no subs....not even a ND. No GMTs....not a one. Only 2 of them had YMs. I find this ridiculous.I also talked to two separate managers regarding the SS Pepsi, who told me the same thing my AD has:They currently don't know how many they are getting or when. BUT...they anticipate getting 2 or 3 A YEAR. If true (I've heard this from 3 separate sources), let that sink in. And if you think your local AD will be getting more than ADs in the middle of NYC, then I have a bridge I want to sell you.
