I42: If you think a watch has more value because it's mechanical, fair enough but be aware that there's a bunch of expensive "swiss-made" stuff using movements that sell for less than $10.
Yes, I'm fully aware of the "Swiss Made" quartz watch issue. My wife insisted on paying a stupid price for a Tissot quartz watch. That's marketing for you!
I like mechanical watches for their interesting engineering, but as far as watches for flying go, I'm quite happy with my Seiko, which I bought based on a PPRuNe recommendation (Genghis I think).
