d-rock Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Depends on how much you paid for it. I'd say if you gave over 70.00 you could have done better. Smoother second hand..??? 2836 28,800 bph is what you want for that "gen like" smooth sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 what kind of movement does it have? Should I be disappointed ? looking for something with a smoother movement. any recommendations? No commonly available mechanical movement is as smooth as "legend" has you believe. 4 "hand ticks" per second is as smooth as it gets even with an actual Rolex. Most lay people expect some magical flawless hand sweep, like an AC powered electric wall clock. That's not the reality tho. That said, you have a lower-beat movement there, and it's not as smooth as it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 It's probably a DG 2813 that beat at 6 bps. The only true smooth second hand mvt is the mvt build by Seiko, the Spring Drive mvt. Demo here But you will need to pull out a lot of cash from your pocket to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
