I hate japanese watches. They are junk!
I prefer Swiss mechanical watches. An Omega Speedmaster and an Oris are call my own.
its just that there is nothing quite like an eta swiss movement (esp. mechanical) - its just an intangible. People will pay more for one of these mechanical watches and the thing is they don't keep anywhere near as accurate time as a cheap quartz watch.
After 20 years of service, I replaced my old BelAir Diver's watch with a new one in Titanium.
+1. When my last watch battery died, I had already begun to carry a cell phone all the time, and just never bothered wearing it again.Nothing. Haven't worn a watch since I started carry the cell phone full time.
