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!

I have no idea if the qoute they gave me is a fair deal? This is a completely separate policy from my homeowners insurance. Premium seems reasonable. Any input is appreciated.

Rolex Submariner Date - 116610LN - $85503. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 - 114300 - $57004. Rolex Datejust II - 279173 - $9150 State Farm’s annual premium quote for all 4 watches: �� $201 per year - $0 deductible�� $179 per year - $250 deductible�� $158 per year - $500 deductibleThis covers all perils and damage.
