Tyler,

Some watch manufacturers throw in jewels just to glamourise the watch.

Remember, some watches have functional and non-functional jewels. In a Rolex, all 31 are functional. Most Pannys have just 21 jewels, yet that is considered a superb movement.

You really can't judge a watch solely on the number of jewels in it. There are a number of other factors to be considered as well.
