Screw-On vs Push-on Watch Back?

What is the feelings about push on vs screw on watch backs? I've read where people will not purchase a watch that is push on. I just purchased a used watch and did not realize until I got it home that it was push on. Just signals to me a "cheaper" watch - agree?

Snap on case backs are uniquely founds on cheap watches. There are equally as many cheap watches with screw down backs.

The Blancpain Villeret tourbillon has a snap on back and it is certainly not cheap.

Scott - Thanks. I guess that answers it - no relationship between snap on and watch quality.

I meant to say snap on case backs are not uniquely found on cheap watches.

Glad you understood me anyway
