I'd like to get a GMT too. I need a 2nd time zone but I want a GMT 24 hour hand; not digital read out like I get on my Omega X-33

That X-33 is a sexy beast though. I really want a Rolex GMT-II, but can't justify the price tag. The Steinhart Ocean 44 is pretty nice without looking like a Rolex homage like their 42mm GMT.

I just the Omega back from Omega Switzerland and they refinished watch. I really love the new Rolex (I think it is GMT as well) with polished ceramic bezel. It look like engraved bezel. I was telling a friend about it in US as this is the new hot watch in Singapore. Did not see on the Rolex site?? Same style watch as the blue and black bezel, but with a polished ceramic bezel. Very hot...

I want to sell or trade in the X-33 on that Rolex or the new IWC Aquatimer. Both I thought were the two newest cool watches that weren't over sized or way too expensive like Blancpain I've seen recently.

That's neat. Eterna is an excellent value brand that's pretty popular in Switzerland. I believe they are made in Biel where our machine shop is.
