A while ago, I wrote an article about the Omega X-33 prices. You can find that article here. I have been watching the prices for these discontinued timepieces on both Ebay and also several watch forums. The prices are generally trending up.
I just saw this one sell on Watch-U-Seek for around $2200. This is for a sample with excellent documentation, but no titanium bracelet. So here is my reality check pricing estimates for the X-33:
- Gen-1 X33, excellent condition, with boxes and papers, $2000-2500. Expect to pay more for a watch with the titanium bracelet versus the not-so-durable Omega kevlar.
- Gen-2 X33, excellent condition, with boxes and papers, $2500+. Again, expect to pay more for a watch with the titanium bracelet.
- For watches in good condition, I expect to see samples around $1700-$2000.
- In 2007, you could find used/worn examples for around $1000 on Ebay. Not anymore, even well worn examples are going for $1400 or so.
1) Crown is known to collapse in the Gen 1 watches.
2) Backlight goes out
Either of these defects will require service by Omega.
Happy Hunting.

The X-33 is an interesting watch that has many mixed feelings. I like that Omega went a little out of the box on this one and would expect prices to continue to rise. Good points you made.
