Thorton,
Happy to put the Aero against a Rolex Quartz, as Breitling doubles the Chronometer requirement for each of its drives, whereas Rolex is happy to meet it.
If value is your criteria, may I suggest you look into a Citizen Ecodrive, or a drugstore Timex, as the Timex will be more accurate than the Rolex, and in the case of the Citizen, you wonÂt even have to move your wrist to get it to wind  leave it on a window ledge.
I donÂt like large, clunky, heavy, timepieces, and I travel almost weekly, so I do find triple time zones/chronometer/dual alarm/date-date functions very handy. Sure, if you remember to move your wrist occasionally the Rolex will keep working, and itÂll sorta be close to the correct time most of the time - even a broken clock is right twice a day, right?
And an automatic mechanism will outlast a quartz one? Okey doke, sure, it could happen. Look, youÂre happy with it  good for you  impress your friends and neighbors. They're also impressed with Bose, which they consider to be a good value - ask them.
