> Any decent quartz watch is more accurate than the best mechanical watches.

Nobody I know who enjoys mechanical watches would disagree with you on this. You do not buy a mechanical watch, especially a Rolex or similar brand, because you want to know what time it is.

In my opinion, the greatest advantage to an automatic is never getting ripped off by a watch repair place again.

With past watches, one little issue that required a visit to a repair shop would inevitably incur the $30 "the battery need replacing" tax. Nevermind that I just had it replaced a few months prior.
