>You can buy a $5000 Rolex or a $50 Timex, but in the end they both >tell the time equally well. Except nobody ever sees anybody's interconnect cables, so one can't even use the excuse of vanity. Maybe gullibility? And actually, a quartz $50 timex tells time a lot better than a standard oyster perpetual mechanical $2500 rolex, no matter how finely crafted they claim to be. Springs do not relax their force in a linear method, and the best crafstmen can only do so much with extra cogs that click into play at certain spring densities :) A little chunk of quartz, however, will happily vibrate exactly at a known frequency as long as your battery stays within a certain voltage range.
