watchlover321 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 AFAIK, all automatics go "tick tick tick tick" like that The second hand ticks 5 or so per sec giving it a sweeping feel. ETA Swiss automatic generally speaking has better quality than the Asian counterpart. There is an article here somewhere describing in detail the differences.

bkdc Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 2824 and 2836 are 28800 bph, or 8 ticks per second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
