If you look at all aspects of a high-end quartz movement such as the GS 9F or the Rolex 5035, you cannot compare them to a cheap $5 Chinese quartz movement. Similarly, you cannot compare a generic ETA movement to something from Audemars Piguet or Patek Philippe.
There will always be those who do not find quartz watches worthy, I get it. I just hope that those people feel the same way about generic or very rudimentary automatic movements, too.

Yeah Wes, we'll have to agree to disagree!
Comparing the Chinese quartz to GS quartz and equating the difference to that of an ETA (non-generic
) to Patek Philippe does not work for me, JMHO
