Like the Tag Heuer Quartz Chronograph pay one and a half thousand dollars one a watch which has a $45 movement so enjoy your $1600 dollar case I'm sure I do. But in the end quartz is arguably the most reliable and accurate but because its quartz its cheap so the elite in society aren't interested. Well that's my opinion anyway I think that it all comes down to psychology a Chinese movement could be smoother, more accurate and may have more longevity than an ETA automatic or an In-house Rolex movement but because they are far cheaper except for the ETA equivalents that can be more expensive people feel more comfortable thinking that because they paid several thousand dollars on their watch it is automatically better.

In comparison of timing accuracy, the Seiko movement is the best and accurate at all time, even my Seiko Laurel circa 1965 production still give me a perfect time, everytime. Swiss makers is good for my pride and proud due to its "Swiss Made" but in reality, I would say, Japanese watch movement is very much reliable than Swiss made. They just lack of personality and brand of Swiss watches. I have Swiss auto and Seiko Auto in my collection.

No doubts about it Japanese movt is far accurate than the Acclaimed Swiss Movt.

No doubts about it Japanese movt is far accurate than the Acclaimed Swiss Movt. Simplicity, light weight and accuracy

They are on par, and in some cases better than my Swiss ETA movements. Great quality and craftsmanship.

Most of the “swiss made” movements are designed in Europe but are produced in Asia. Companies such as Orient are currently on the leading edge of production and accuracy allowing people with a limited budget to still purchase a quality watch. The only thing I have noticed is most Asian movements lack features that a Swiss might like a stop watch for example. Bottom line is that Asian made (by this i mean Japan, not China) watches are high quality and will give you just as many (or more) year of enjoyment as a Swiss watch. Totally agree.
