I voted for quartz, because I would really love to be able to afford another Benarus watch... once we start looking at $500 - $650, I've got to really think hard about spending that kind of money on another watch. Seiko Monster = $175 w/ Seiko automatic mvt. In the $650 range, SUMO, SAMURAI, BIG KINETIC. At $850 I can buy a Swiss Automatic ORIS TT1.
Bernhardt GMT ETA 2836 = $399 and the Bernhardt Globemaster GMT "ETA" modified = $449.
I am not sure why quartz is not acceptable. My brother's TAG 2000 keeps great time, and he has changed the battery 2x in ten years. OMEGA Seamaster quartz is up around $1,600 and the quartz movement doesn't seem to hurt their sales or reputation.
Perhaps it is possible to offer the Benarus GMT in quartz and ETA ?
