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.
