Seamaster quartz or auto?

I have decided to purchase a Seamaster "Bond" after trying on numerous watches Omega GMT, Rolex Sub, GMT, etc. The only watch that even comes close in overall impression is the AP Royal Oak, but this watch is a little pricey for a everyday watch. I have always preferred autos and own a couple of JLC's which get worn very seldom. The Seamaster will be worn everyday, including during skiing, tennis, paragliding, and bar-hopping. Given these facts,would I be better off choosing the quartz modelster over the auto? Also, I have seen many auto in excess of fifty years old and they still are able to be serviced. What is the long-term (servicing)outlook for a quartz model--assuming that it isn't abused to death first?
