IMO, winding and resetting is an insignificant issue to consider when buying a mechanical watch. There’s the initial cost difference and then there are service costs which I think are more important to consider than the need to wind- Again, mechanical watches are not for everyone. My point is that many will enjoy and be happy w/a decent quartz. The statement that mechanical is the right choice for the “educated” or are “superior” than quartz does not apply to every individual/situation.
... “
better and desirable” this is relative...
Will I buy another quartz? Probably not, but is the OP aware that mechanical watches require routine service/maintenance at the tune of several hundred $$? Something to consider in a
retirement budget.
