I too would rather have a manual wind watch.
I own an Omega Speedmaster Professional, a vintage Girard Perregaux, an Invicta Russian Diver and 1948 Executive model, my old Mickey Mouse watch, a 1938 Bulova, and my family is getting me a Chase-Durer WarHawk Mechanical Pilot watch for Christmas.
I love mechanicals. There's a bonding process every morning when I wind my watch.
My autos are a pain. Having to reset them and keep them wound is a pain. I'd take a wind-up over an automatic any day.
