I did the most awful, unbelievable thing. I have purchased a quartz watch after many years wearing mechanical watches and it is not Rolex!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does any one know and heard of Ronda 5050c movement? Does it matter if the movement is Swiss or Japanese or Chinese. A quartz is a quartz, isn't it?

You are correct, quartz is quartz. Makes not a matter in world where it was made. Now the batteries on the other hand....that is where people get into heated debates!!!

Ronda makes a good quartz movt.

Don't feel bad. I just picked up this one. It's quartz, but doesn't need battery replacements:

There's nothing wrong buying/wearing a quartz watch.

Sometimes a mechanical/automatic isn't all that...

brkanand · 18 October 2012, 03:22 AM

Whatever, this is still is a new addition to your collection. Enjoy

I was up in Timing and Scoring at Road Atlanta today and their Chief admired my Root Beer GMT - but then said he wondered why I didn't care what time it really was...while showing me his Casio!

FeelingTheBlues · 18 October 2012, 07:21 AM

Nothing wrong with it, I think every collection needs at least one of those movements! Enjoy yours!
