Cool X33 Prototype

Hi Forum today I meet a guy selling multiple watches and specially a X33 prototype 18/22 , I tested all the functions and works fine , the special things are the pushers and the fixed bezel but fun.

Start to think it to take it or not

Interesting. Based on my reading of this one article, it looks legit, although a later version (the version before had a larger broad arrow hand and x-33 printed on the bottom of the dial.)

It's pretty cool. Depends on the cost but it'd be fun.

"Shown below is another 1997 prototype sold in the same Antiquorum “Omegamania” auction for 18,880.- CHF (~US$15,560, Lot # 225). Apparently the decision had been reached by this point to proceed with “Speedmaster Professional X-33” as the model name as it is noted on the dial. Note even the “X-33” printing at the bottom of the dial and large arrowhead of the hour hand. In the final production version the “X-33” printing was of course omitted from the dial and the size of the arrowhead reduced:
