I'm with BROBs on a preferring a quartz vs a lower end auto.
I've had this Seiko quartz diver since 1993. It had a magnifier window, but I broke it twice in the first few years of ownership, so I just replaced it with a flat crystal. I "restored" if a few years ago, with a new bezel (took three years to find that piece, from via a parts dealer in the UK , which set me back $70) and a ebay Seiko Jubilee bracelet (the factory was stretched beyond belief). The case has been polished countless times, before I knew such things were cool, but hey, I like shiny stainless. It's only every needed a battery. I bought an SKX a few years ago, which only ran a few months before timekeeping became very erratic. I was fortunate to return it for a refund. The quartz version (which by the is a 39mm model, slightly smaller than the SKX). I have the original bezel and bracelet, but don't see them returning to the watch. This one has truly been my beater, been snorkeling all over and even surfing in Hawaii.
My Swiss-made Accutron (quartz) had a pretty expensive ETA movement (expensive by quartz movement standards that didn't last ten year. A buddy, a repair hobbyist, replaced the movement for me on that one. It lasted about 9 years.
