Nah so long as you’re happy with it. There’s a real forum-boner over mechanical, but I think quartz can be way more....usable.
GF’s Michel Herbelin is quartz, super slim and has survived a beating. Pretty sure an Omega quartz is gonna be pretty top.

Thanks. I know the forum likes mechanical but I had to ask.
I did look at the Herbelins, Omega took my fancy in the shop window. There were other newer similar type watches at various prices - mostly £3000+ for 18ct gold and the jeweller mentioned that these watches have ‘cheaper’ movements as you are paying for the gold. Newer similar watches have more gate styled bracelets but I like the Omega bracelet a lot. My wife has gold gate bracelets and this will look different.

Local sale. I presume quartz. Is that bad? Push button works fine - Watch is as new.
