This is true but does anyone realy care/notice? Example.... When was the last time someone looked at your watch and questioned the movement? The truth of it is 99% of the general public could care less about someones watch. This has been my experence. The few who you might run into who like watches probably know nothing or very little about movements. Remember that this community makes up only a small part of are socitey as a whole. Most people that I know wear a watch for one reason, to tell them the time of day. Some use there dam cell phone. I dont think It will ever happen but lets say someone looks at my watch and says " Ohhhh thats a quartz, must be a fake" My reply would be " Indeed it is, thank you very much" I have never had someone question the authenticity of my watch. Im not saying that could not happen. But the chances are astronomical. I like my quartz watches as I like my automatic/self winders. I say " if you like the watch, get it", no one's going to realy care/notice. Imho Mike
