personally I wouldn't pay $1600.& up for a high end quartz when it could be a Swiss ETA or something along a nice automatic!...so I guess what I am trying to say is you get what you pay for...:Djust my 2 cents
Oscar, we agree on something besides the Indians! Neither would I!
I've never bought a watch for $1600... my most expensive quartz (a thermocompensated Longines VHP Perpetual Calendar -- as good as it gets and made by ETA too!) cost me $625 new from a jeweler. (I'm a good shopper -- it comes from my Swiss background. :D) It's just my opinion but no mechanical offers such bang for the buck. (It's even rated to 200m but still looks nice enough to wear with a tux!)
But I admit, in the final analysis, we are dealing with taste. To me fine quartz tastes just as good as fine mechanical. I realize that's not true for everybody.
