For a comparison of accuracy of inexpensive quartz vs inexpensive automatic, check this video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fddXI...eature=related
The statement certainly was a general one and painted with a broad brush, but I feel gave a general answer to the question of the difference between quartz and auto.

I agree with you, however, about the build quality being the final factor.

That's why I wear a Rolex.
