I have seven mechanical watches. Some run, some don't. All are in a baggie in a dresser drawer. I appreciate fine mechanical devices as much as anyone, but for their intended purpose of telling time, I go quartz. I have a 20+ YO Swiss Army quartz (Ronda mvt) watch which is scary precise. Within a couple of seconds per month. No maintenance has ever been needed other than the occasional battery change.What Rolex (or any other mechanical) watch can match that?
