What is the most you would spend on a quartz movement? Thinking of adding to the collection and typically a believer of quality over quantity but pondering a higher end piece with a quartz movement to keep the spend reasonable? Would love thoughts and opinions along with recommendations. Not overly concerned with resale value as my pieces are to keep and not sell.

No particular limit. It's about the quality of the movement not type of the movement. As long as the brand is doing a quality job and using quality movement, I don't have a problem with high price.

I think the Cartier Tank Must Solarbeat was as expensive as I've contemplated, but people with more means might go higher. I think a quartz needs to do a little more to justify itself in the higher price brackets, but it's still conceivable you'd pay just as much as you would for an auto, for the right watch with the right finishing.
