Of course it's nearly always possible to get a Chinese homage that's cheaper than an original European watch.
But if the people buying the Chinese homage not only pay less but also get a better watch, someone's having a laugh.
I like having a watch with half-a-dozen useful and not-so-useful features, that's cheap and rugged and I don't have to feel anxious that maybe I'll scratch the case and lose some staggering amount of resale value when I do. So, of course, quartz is the way to go getting all that stuff. I love mechanical watches as well for other reasons. But I don't think anyone should feel that they "must" have a quartz watch.
If someone has found a way to make their life better, that doesn't hurt anyone else, I say, have at it, life your life.
The prices on those Ulysse Nardin watches seem a little wild, but, I guess they know their audience.
If you're still thinking about it after 3 years, probably a sign that you really will like it.
Something to keep in mind with GS is that a lot of people scratch them and then regret having bought them. You might either want to get one that is pre-scratched (and thus cheaper), or ask yourself if you're willing to have it in a box most of the time and only wear it on rare occasions and baby it when you do?
