Cartier

Will start by mentioning that like many of the community members, Quartz was a taboo, almost.

Why?

Because a Gshock was acceptable

So quartz is (was) for me a taboo on "expensive" watches.

Why is that? it was not a "real" watch.

.

Then my knowledge expanded and my horizons widened.

There is a quartz and there is a quartz. For example:

The Rolex Oyster quartz.

The FPJ Elegante.

The Grand Seiko quartz..

.

My acceptance for expensive quartz watches is for high quality quartz watches (not necessarily expensive) made to last many years .

The main concern I have is water that can ruin the circuit but if like many collectors these days you’re keeping your watches off of water you'll be fine.

.

To sum it up:

I will only buy “expensive” quartz watches made in a quality components to “last a lifetime”. These include Grand Seiko etc that uses quality components.

Cartier in some models uses cheap quartz components,  would not touch them unless I buy it as a fun watch to work as long as it works, in other models they uses a slightly better one, still IMO its a cheap quartz watch with higher price tag.
