Steelfish swiss second hand sweep question

How smooth should the second hand sweep be on a Swiss steelfish? I just got mine today and it seems like the second hand moves kind of jerky. It defiantly is not as smooth as my ingenieur and probably about the same as my Seiko monster if that helps. It defiantly has the blue-ish/purple AR but I do not have a caseback opener to check and see if it is really Swiss. Am I worrying that I may have gotten an Asian movement for nothing? Thanks guys.

If its swiss or one of the new eta copies it should sweep 8 ticks per sec. Hard to see but up close you can tell the diff from the asian which sweeps at 5 or 6 ticks per sec.
