Re: Quartz vs. Automatic
In Response To: Re: Quartz vs. Automatic ()

If you own only one watch I can understand deciding to go with an automatic. But, if you have several watches that you wear I prefer quartz. It is too much trouble for me to reset the date on the automatics as well as the time. I have around 15 watches of which 12 are quartz. I wear six or seven of them frequently and the auto are always, to me, a pain to reset. I might add that I have never had to have a quartz watch repaired. Some of the ones I have are now 20 years old, still running perfectly. Can't say that about the autos. In conclusion I will never buy anything but quartz from now on in.

:

Get the automatic. I've owned mine for a little over two years
: now. It's an excellent time piece and will hold its value
: far better than that of an automatic. They're great watches
: and be prepared to get alot of compliments.
