Lu, > I had a friend who bought a Rolex for over US $ 1000 and it > kept worse time than his Timex. When he complained, Rolex was surely second hand. (Or this happened in 1960:-) And the Timex surely was quartz. So it is unfair comparison. Alex. P.S. I understand why some people may want to pay $10,000 and more for a wristwatch. (So that everyone sees you wearing such watch). But what I cannot explain is why Russian deck watches recently reached the price of chronometers...
