Buying notes
- The quartz version often gives most of the visual PRX experience for much less money.
- The Powermatic 80 justifies the premium only if the automatic movement and dial texture matter to you.
- Used prices matter: if the automatic is close to quartz pricing, it becomes the better buy. At full retail, compare carefully.
