[QUOTE="99MustangGTman, post: 16913570, member: 55199"] I'm not a watch snob at all. Right now i'm actually wearing a $180 Seiko. I've been meaning to pick up a Timex Waterbury Collection. You'll realize, the majority of members on the WUS forums are just lovers of horology. No one sneers at someone with a $100 watch. I will say I am an automatic snob. No quartz for me ever. Even a decent $400-$500 watch is an automatic. Quartz is a no-go, the only quartz I like is Bulova's .262 kHz like in their Precisionist and Lunar Pilots and some MecaQuartz. Funny, i'm a manual car snob, and i'm an automatic watch snob. It's odd that some people here don't get the difference between this watch and that watch, which I understand is a hobby with many intricacies. To me, it's just like cars in it's own way. Most people think we're nuts for the money we spend on all kinds all car parts and probably don't see the point of buying some part over what comes on the car from the factory. Of course we all know what parts need changing and what parts we should modiify. The thing I find great is I have 70+ year old watches that are obviously hand-wound, and all of them work and I don't know the service history of any of them. I wore my 1952 Bulova the other day and wound it and it runs perfectly. I was only gaining +2 seconds on the day. [/QUOTE]
