Quartz is a great choice if you buy a watch because you're interested in what time it is. coyote2.gif /mechanical elitist, (liberal kind too!) // I confess to owning a digital Timex Ironman. I walked the AT wearing it.

I've always "liked" watches, but to be honest never even knew mechanical watches still existed until maybe 8 months of so ago. I bought my Junghans radio controlled quartz a couple of years ago and still love it. Then, one day about 8 months ago, I ran across someone who had recently bought a Zenith. Wow, I said to myself, that's a nice looking watch. He mentioned that he paid "6" for it. So, I started looking around the internet for a $600 Zenith. I see him a week later and say, "all of those watches that I found are really expensive" and which point he informed me he meant $6,000 not $600.   ?!?! You spent $6,000??? On a watch???Since then, I've been reading about watches like crazy. I learned that Orient was a good place for me to start with a reasonably priced but high quality automatic. I found the Island Watch site around February when googling "Orient" and so it began! My first mechanical watch was an Orient open heart. Love it!

"6"! I have yet to pay "1" for a watch. Then again, I have nothing so graily as a Zenith either. Maybe someday.

Surf the forums for deals too. I have at least a half dozen watches worth over 4K and have not paid North of 3K for a watch yet. :cool: ;)
