I agree with everything Keith said. I would only add that, as a general rule, automatics retain their resale value better than quartz watches since most watch enthusiasts prefer automatics. That's probably why you are finding fewer quartz versions for sale.
Like Keith said, if you want a Bond style watch that you can just set the time and forget about, go with the quartz. If you want to try something new and get a real Swiss precision timepiece, I'd go with the automatic.
By the way, you are right - Bond only wore the quartz version in "GoldenEye" in 1995. By 1997's "Tomorrow Never Dies" the newer automatic version hit the market and this watch stayed on 007's wrist for the final three Brosnan films.
