If quartz accuracy is what you are used to, then you will NOT like an automatic. OMEGA, ROLEX and other premium mechanical watches -- when properly adjusted -- generally keep time to +/-2 seconds PER DAY.

Mechanical watches are more about esoteric enjoyment of doing things the old-fashioned way. Their accuracy is fine for normal use. But anyone who is an accuracy enthusiast would be better suited with a premium quartz watch.
