New to the forums and glad to be here. Have been reading for 10 days and learned tons. I am about to purchase my first 3 reps from Andrew, and have run into a question. Reading the knowledge base and searches have not sollicited the answer. What is the fundamental reason for buying an automatic over a quartz? 1. Authenticity? closer to the real thing 2. longevity? My inclination is to buy a rep and use it for 5 years and then likely move onto a new one. Hence the $100-$150 price tag is more appealing than the $280 price tag. My reading leads me to believe as a daily wear the quartz is more 'accurate'. I am planning on a 1) UPO orange bezel 2) Tag Link 3) B. Superocean. The tag link chrono comes in a quartz version. Should I stay clear? Thanks Bdo
