Well, quartz is quartz. There is so much smoke and mirrors when it comes to watches. JUst choose the one you like the look of. Peter Mandelson wears a watch that cost several tens of thousands of pounds. That one has a mechanical movement, but mechanical movements are usually less accurate, and require regular and pricey servicing every 4 years or so. I cannot see the point of such an expensive watch. I splashed out on a gold Rotary watch on ebay for £125 (steady on I hear you say), it was brand new. I see they are now £500 on the high street. I'm not sure how that works, except that marketing is all. I'm sure it wasn't 'borrowed' from Bernie Ecclestone.
