Hi, only four of my collection watches are quarts. They are all chronographs. There many more watches out there that I would like to get yet and I just am not ready to drop the dime to get an automatic chrono. I do find that i hardly wear my quartz. The engineering and artistry af an automatic and especially a skeletonized movemant is hard to beat. The watch I get the most compliments on surprisingly is my big red carbonfiber dial Akribos automatic. When people ask to see it and they see the exhibition back they just say "COOL". Cant get that with a quartz. But, In a hobbie as this you have people that like different things. We need to be supportive of each other so the hobbie continues to grow so nobody feels snubbed. I also collect antique tractors. I would hope that hobbies stays as it is now. You have the guys who really cant afford to have a top quality restoration done or even do one at all. Then you have the ones that could spend 50 grand on a restoration and the ones in between. I chair a tractor show here and we get over 300 tractors at our show and you can have one that was painted by a brush sitting beside one with a $5K paint job. Thats the beauty of it. If someone wants to get involved in a hobbie they can take it to the level their finances allow and still have fun doing it. Does this make sense? Scott
