I must really like them! After years of collecting Rolex watches (at least 10 or so I have bought and sold), I no longer have any. I have found Omega to be a better buy, and their quality to be just as good, not as good, or better depending upon which area. (eg better bracelets for Omega, better dials for Rolex). I now collect Omega, specifically I have 4 Omega 120m quartz(1990's models with straight hands, not skeleton), and an Omega midsize blk/blk SMP, also quartz.
I did like the Rolex models I had (SUB, SD, Datejust, etc), but I found they were off 4-6 seconds a day. Even though it was within COSC specs, it really bugged me, since I like to have more accurate time (if you miss the first 10 seconds of CSI sometimes you miss too much).
There has been much written about Automatic vs. Quartz, so I won't get into it, but quartz is the right choice for me. With my automatics, if I didn't wear them or put them on the winder, I had to reset them, and unscrewing the crown that often is never a good thing from a wear and tear point of view.
One distinct advantage of the Seamaster quartz that I find to be a BIG advantage over the automatic is that you can move the hour hand without moving the minute hand or upsetting the second hand. This is VERY helpful for time zone changes, and daylight savings, without having to re-sync. The quartz is also a tad more resistant to shock, and I really tend to do everything with my watches, and don't want the added worry of harmoing the movement.
Finally, a battery change is all a quartz watch really needs every 3-4 years. I can do it myself, and it only cost $1 for the battery!
