Question about the Breguet Tradition balance wheel

Hey guys,

Thinking about buying a tradition as my first rep. Was watching some videos on the various websites (as well as looking at some gifs on the giant thread about this watch) and noticed a discrepancy that I wanted to clear up.


The video on Trusty Time ( http://www.trustytime01.cc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=18875 ) is consistent with a lot of the stuff I've seen in terms of the amount of motion in the balance wheel

By comparison, in this video from Puretime ( https://puretimewatch.io/tradition-...eton-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a507-v2.html ), the balance wheel hardly seems to move at all, maybe through 30 degrees of rotation on each beat.

I figured that perhaps Puretime was using a higher frame rate video and this is really what the balance wheel looks like in motion, but I wanted to double check with people who have seen the rep in person or who own it. Could anyone shed some light on this apparent difference?
