well, most of my watches are quartz. but that's only because mechanical movements are more, as you figured out jazz4ivo, expensive. i love mechanical watches. to my mind, these watches are symbols of how accurate and sophisticated (i hope this is the right word here) humans can work. mechanical watches with a bottom window are very great...you can see everything in detail. the gears, the screws and the jewels....sometimes the movement is more lovely then the rest of the watch.
as you might guess, i'm just talking about the gens, but i think also the reps have some very nice movements...most of them you can order with a gen swiss ETA so, why not?
does having a mechanical watch means i have to correct the time every three to four days? of course...but isn't this worth by getting the possability to own such beautiful pieces of handicraft?
i hope i could explain my point of view so you could guess what i feel for watches....even by my poor english^^
