This is very true - but I think the general view is, that if there are two versions of the same watch, one quartz, and one mechanical - the mechanical version tends to be preferable.
I have the X-33 pictured above, and a 1981 Jaques Mayol Plonger De Luxe - neither of which were produced as mechanical - but both of which I think cool, so bought.
Horses for courses.
