Welcome to RG man.

Most of us do tend to lean toward the automatic watches since quartz feels like it has no life. I keep mine in a winder but only wind the ones that are in my regular rotation. I think we have established that keeping them wound or not does not affect the life of the movement whether its an Asian movement or a rep. Either way they could both use servicing every 5 to 7 yrs to keep them running tip tock.
