My body has issues with batteries (drains a quartz watch battery in a week or so) so I would choose the automatic for myself.
However, for you, I think it would depend on the size of your hands and wrists. A 40mm watch may seem overly large if you have smaller hands or skinny forearms.
I do think the quartz watch has a slightly more elegant look to it, but the automatic would wear nicely with business attire.

I bought a discontinued Rolex model in 1990 as a celebration of the birth of my son. Turns out it has been the best investment (if I felt free to sell it) I have ever made. Cost $8,000US, offered $30,000CAN for it now, Hope they never make an exotic African wood faced model again and it keeps going up!

Mike, to the eye, the Ebay one is a bit dressier. However, it seems like the final bid will be north of $200. The timezone one, has a brown croc strap with aftermarket deployant (preferred by me) and then I can always remove the tang buckle from the shot original one. I negotiated a lower price for the auto and it will be shipped Monday.

Got the watch and for me, seems an odd duck. I guess it is the brown croc strap. To me, a croc strap is dress and dress is black. Maybe a brown croc works for a black dial to make it more casual, but on the white face watch, seems like an odd duck. And I already have a black strap watch in a JLC, so I will wait until the JLC comes back and sell one of them.
