In Response To: Re: SMP Chronometer vs. Quartz ()

: Go for the Auto - its plenty rugged for your
: needs and being COSC certified will be very
: accurate - mine currently runs at +1 sec per
: day, which is well within COSC limits.

: Many people on this forum play golf, shoot and
: play lots of other 'active' sports with no
: ill effects on their watches.

: Besides, an auto movement has more of a 'soul'
: than a quartz - in these days of
: techno-everything, its nice to have a
: genuine mechanical movement on your wrist
: that can trace its history back 150 years.

: Of course I could just be talking crap, but its
: all IMHO!

I'M TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU !!!
