  The seem to be advertised for quite a good price on eBay second hand. Are these popular after they become discontinued?

    i'm new to watch collecting so i had to google it. the cheap ones look like crap and wow, the prices some of those things command?
    i'd rather use that money to buy another watch.

  Genuine question - why do people choose automatic watches? How often are people having to wind them and adjust them with lost time?

    I own both mechanical (both handwind and automatic) and quartz watches.

    None of the mechanical watches are as convenient or accurate as any of the quartz.

    But there is a certain romance of having this tiny little machine on your wrist. Knowing that there are hundreds of tiny parts all working in unison, powered only by a spring (and my movement if it's an automatic), that's pretty cool. It's even better when there is a display caseback on the watch so you can see all the parts working away.

    It is entirely anachronistic - the clock on my phone is vastly more accurate than the watch on my wrist (except when I'm wearing an AT model). But that's not the point. Even more so when I'm wearing my Meistersinger, which only has one hand, so can only give a rough approximation of the time.

    as a kid, i was always fascinated with watches that didn't need a battery, since all i had then were battery-operated digital watches that i was terrified would be ruined when it went in for a battery change (i learned to do those myself later in life.)

    so after many years of not being into watches because skateboarding, working on cars and bicycles just wasn't compatible with keeping a watch undamaged, i've been slowly getting sucked into watches again, mostly thanks to WatchNerd's contagious enthusiasm and knowledge for all kinds of watches. and also, perhaps, getting older means you appreciate certain things a little more — things that so small and require so much patience and skill to make. i don't know why it took me so long to be honest, since repairing laptops and phones takes similar skills with all those tiny components.
