I am a noob and I see all these different watch movements referenced. I am clueless on the differences. Are there any videos showing the difference in movements , specifically the second hands. I am curious to see the difference in say asian 21j in cheap watches and the higher end watches with swiss movements. The only movement I am famaliar with is the tick of the Quartz and smoothness of a gen rolex.
I searched but could not find any videos on this board of the different movements.
Thanks for all the info on these boards.

I think he was referring to the second hand sweep of our "standard" movments i.e. the 6497, the 2832, Asian and ETA, etc.

Most of the movements I have come in contact with have a barely noticeable tick of the second hand, whether they be the 18k bph, the 21k or the 28k. None has been as smooth as a gen Rolex, in my opinion.

You are correct my friend.
