Automatic watch gets it's energy from your hand movement. So as long as you wear the watch it will not stop but if you stop wearing it for a while it will stop. A quartz one will keep moving until the battery dies. Mine is a quartz version as I change watches often so I don't like automatic watch.
i have the j12 automatic in white and i will admit, it's a pain because when i don't wear it it stops ticking and i have to reset it all the time. i would get the quartz
If you choose the automatic version, do invest in a watch winder to keep it running when you're not wearing it. I bought my husband a J12 and didn't buy the watch winder until 9 months later. The watch gained time so I figured perhaps the winder would solve the problem. It didn't so the watch went in to be recalibrated at no charge since it was less than a year old. Now it keeps perfect time and husband uses the watch winder so it doesn't have to keep being reset.
I didn't want the hassle. I'd rather deal with a battery replacement every few years so when I purchased a J12, I chose the quartz. It's personal preference, really. Oh, and my bezel didn't move, so mine had to go in for service as well.

my black J12 33 mm w/diamond markers is quartz, b/c I don't always wear the same watch so its easier for me. Not sure if 33mm comes in automatic version, but I know 38mm does.
You are right. I asked my SA this before.
For me I think the 33 look nicer but if u like automatic watch
u have to go with 38
