Can do a ripper deal on the Thomas strap and old face, though you will need slender wrists for it to fit.

I FREAKING LOVE IT

Watches...here's where my sickness really comes through. Makes RAD look like a minor affliction...

Sure if you couldn't care less about a watch a quartz is better. More than likely, if you don't care about your watch you'll also not want to spend much on your watch either and hence, you'll probably end up with a quartz anyway.

It's interesting that you point out that people who buy mechanical might buy it to impress. Now let me qualify this, in my little circle of acquaintances, short of the older galls and gents and the ubber rich, most folk "I" find aren't that impressed by a mechanical. Moreover, those who are ubber rich, I doubt will be impressed with my little "entry level" mechanical from Laco . Most wouldn't even know the brand lol. I think that in order to impress be it mechanical or quartz, the majority of the public need brand recognition... but that might just be me.

Well, I wanted to avoid saying Rolex. yes you could buy a solid gold patek and most wouldn't know what you have but strap a submariner on your wrist and it's a different story.
