: You shouldn't buy a watch for the value it may

: talk future value, think sentimental. What

: down the road.

: I have handled both quartz and auto versions of

: anything, however I wasn't paying attention
: to the possible differences in weight.

: Hope that helps.

Thanks for the input. It is interesting to say that the last jewler I delt with told me specfically that the autos hold their value longer than a quartz. At that point I had never thought of holding of value. I just wanted to make sure that after the purchase of a time piece I don't look back with any regret.

One other question, I see that many people are posting that the automatics loose 2-3 seconds a day. How is it that one is able to determine this and what is the loss of seconds being compared to?

Thanks again for all of your input
