If there were no more mechanical watches

If quartz was the only option, no more mechanical watches, what would you pick?

Under 1000 dollars ( in your currency)

No g shocks, no solar or eco drive.

Only 1 watch.

And for mannyb65 no mobile phones ๐Ÿ˜‚

The only non-gshock quartz I still wear. I could definitely get by with just this one if I had to.

Please, Please increase it to 3500 because I would definitely choose this one.

If quartz was the only option, I'm sure we'd still get all the same watches looking exactly the same, except with different guts.

And I for one would be happy about that, because it would make everything more affordable. And I'm all about the aesthetic of watches, don't care about movement specs at all. At the end of the day, the watch goes back in the watch box to power down, so accuracy, power reserve, none of these matter to me. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I saw it on Just One More Watch. Looks ok, not my style but seems popular. Show us some pics when you get it in wrist ๐Ÿ‘

$1100 from a Japanese reseller for a work of art but I'm a moron and anthropomorphize my watches.

Bulova precisionist, the special edetion one

ยท

The "reduced" Bulova Lunar Pilot or their new Jet Star would be good choices!๐Ÿ‘

ยท

Jet Star claret sunburst dial. With the remaining funds I would purchase a phenomenal bottle of Bourbon to celebrate my purchase.

My Seiko HAQ perpetual calendar. It's one of my favourites anyway.

Who said quartz watches have no soul? Was it the Swiss watch industry at the height of the quartz crisis? Or maybe it was Jean-Claude Biver? Whoever it was, I don't subscribe. Quartz rocks! ๐Ÿ˜‰
