I like quartz, opens the opportunity for slimmer cases and more money to spend on the case quality, i love my georg jensen koppel and all my uniform wares watches. As a rule i stick to swiss quality (ETA /ronda quartz movements) and for ease of services almost all of my automatics have eta 2824 movements.
Anyhoo, don't rule out quartz entirely. Just don't be cheap if you can afford more... i'd rather have a top quality quartz over a low end automatic every time.
many thanks all, great help!
