Article On Best Quartz Movements
A really good read! I particularly liked:
The Rolex quartz now I can see why the movement is more expencive than a mechanical "First introduced commercially in 1974, Omega's 2.4 MHz Marine Chronometer achieved an annual error rate of + - 12 seconds - an unprecedented resolution for a production wristwatch. And coincidentally it is the exact same performance first attained by John Harrison's breakthrough regulator mechanical clocks of the 1720s" http://www.timezone.com/library/cjrml/cjrml0001
