I bought a regular blue Seamaster at MBK for about $90, too much I know but I dont care so much about saving $20, started of haggling at $160! I really liked it automatic with see through back all gold movement and just the simple nice front of the stock standard Seamaster looked really nice. Thing is I might be sensitive to smoothness as I work in 3D animation but the jarring unsmooth second hand really did my head in.. every time I looked at that second hand jarring its way round that dial I gritted my teeth, I think that anyone who looked at this watch close up would see that the second hands movement is nothing like the swiss would be making. I took the watch back today and swapped it for a quartz chrono seamaster, damn I really loved that simple blue dial on the auto and I feel it looked much more legit. I looked around at all the reps, they all had the same jarring movement, others were buying them and looking very happy with their purchases but yeah, not for me. Are all these auto reps like this? the ETA movement ones? can I get a perfect movement? but can I expect any reps to have a smooth movement? I would pay $300 for a perfect auto mid size seamaster that is wearable while swimming in shallow water, is it possible to get? I may even just buy a legit quartz, what is the cheapest that I could find? seems like about $1600+
