Well at one point in my life I would agree. Until, I saw and bought a new Omegamatic watch. This watch is a real beauty. I like the accuracy of the quartz, and the self charging system. Yes, the automatic movement is a work of art, but with the numerous fake high end watches having automatic movements I guess automatics are like kissing your brother (heheheheh). I think whenever you buy a high quality watch either quartz or automatic you are paying largley for the craftsmanship. Just my comments.....
: I've often wondered why anybody would buy a high end watch
: such as Omega in a quartz version. Anybody can make a
: watch, slap a battery in it (or kinetic now) and have a
: watch that keeps near perfect time. To me, part of the
: beauty of a high end watch is the engineering marvel of it.
: To make an extremely precise, intricate piece of machinery
: that runs on pure mechanics and is small enough to wear on
: your wrist is quite a feat!
: To use the old cliche, buying a quartz is like "kissing
: your sister".
: That's my opinion. What does everyone else think?
