    Buy a nice solar watch and donate the difference to a worthy cause in your town. Don't be a snob. When you buy a high end mechanical watch you are just paying to the company for the right to show to your friends that you have the money and taste to buy a famous brand powered by an old fashioned mechanism that is less accurate than their 200 usd watches.
