: there is ultimately little difference
: between 'mid-range' and 'top-range' quartz
: movements across all makes of watches.
The Omega qaurtz movement in the SMP is *exceptionally* accurate.
But don't overthink the issue. On any of these watches, the movement is a $50-100 component--it is not a significant part of the value of the watch. And that is equally true on both the mechanical and quartz.
This is no different from many things. Even in a $20,000-40,000 car, the engine costs only $500-1000. The total value an benefits come from many other factors besides the one component that runs the show.
: Am I in danger of wasting my money in going for
: an OMEGA with a quartz movement?
No.
: Do they hold their value or are they regarded
: as 'not real' OMEGAS by those who are 'in
: the know'?!
The hold their value equally well for a long time.
