The new X33, why so little interest?
I just bought an X33 Solar Impulse, and there seems to be very little buzz about this watch on the various Omega forums. I realize the high-end Quartz is a niche market, but with the Omega NASA history I would have thought a new moon watch would get more attention. When I moved to Houston one of the first places I visited was NASA, and that was right when the original X33 came out, and there was a huge X33 on display, and it really stuck with me. I'm happy to see that they've moved forward with that series.

3-Watch Collection Strategy
I'm seeking your sage advise oh wise Rolex Forum. I want to build a 3-watch collection over the next 5-10 years. I have my first of the three with a Hulk Sub. For the remaining two watches, I'm shooting for a budget of 30k. I want to be deliberate. I love the whole SEAL-based strategy, but I'm not sure that really actually fills my first world needs. Speaking of, here are my desirements for a watch collection:1. The more formal situations. Mr. Hulk is fine, but I'd prefer something a bit more refined. I actually really love the new Everose Datejust 36, but I'm really naive in this genre. Any good affordable PP to consider?2. A GMT of some sort. I'm partial to Rolex and actually really like the new Root Beer. However, what else is out there that I should consider?I used to be in love with the Daytona, but I've sort of lost interest in the chrono type watches as these are complications I would probably never use.Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
