i'm interested in buying an omega automatic. had a rolex and the "official" rolex watch repair guy said i would have to measure the difference then bring it in for adjustment. it kept lousy time by any standard. now i have a raymond weil parsifal and i never have to set it, until the battery wears out and it's been going strong for 5 years, which it isn 't supposed to do. it keeps incredibly accurate time for months at a time, losing only about 15 seconds in 3 months . . . pretty good.
so why would i buy a mechanical watch if it costs more and can't keep time as well? I WANT TO KNOW WHY? although i do like fine machines and find them appealling, especially watches
