It's just a matter of personal preference. My Cartier is a quartz and I specifically wanted it that way.
True ~ plus I don't wear the same watch everyday so I feel quartz would be better for me as I wouldn't have to worry about winding automatic watches. Does anybody know whether the J12 automatic is self-winding? I guess personally it doesn't matter to me either way, though it seems to me that automatic watches have a higher perceived value and seems more desirable, plus people who spends thousand of dollars on watches mostly expect automatic as opposed to quartz which is why I am thinking carefully before I make my decision.
