About quartz... I was told the same thing by a jeweler. Even on automatics, he said that most of the money was on the casing.

Please give me your source for that $100 Omega. I'll buy every one in the world.

The fact is watches can be made for dirt cheap the average quartz mvmt costs about $25 or less some cost pennies, a Sapphire xtl about $50 and a case fro $30 or so. A leather or cheap metal strap for $10. The more you pay for the watch the more the company makes on it. There's the manufacturer, the middleman, the dealer and each doubles the price. And who do you think pays for Tiger Woods to wear a watch for a year?

You mean lp?

1 I have a quartz movement lp that kept perfect time for 4 years before needing a battery replacement.
2 the seiko movement seraphim is talking about is great stuff for the money
3 the thing looks cool and you'll get a great auto movement watch for 70 bucks
4 the pound is kicking the dollar's ass

He asked for three reasons, or didn't you read his original post!?

To heck with your Tabac and fancy shmancy watches.
I use one of these and they are a PITA on cloudy days. Inside works perfect in good light. LOLOL

I didn't think I had watch AD. I've been quite happy with my current watch.

And then this thread comes along....
