Eeeb I have no idea what kind of auto watches you are looking at but all my higher end auto/mechanicals COSC,Lemania's are smoother than any of my high end quartz(Breitling.Rolex) including the electronics and tuning fork watches I ownwatch2.gifThere was a new eta quartz to be released in 2007 but since halted that had an extra gear and 60 extra teeth that touted to be as close as a high end mechanical in the smooth sweep category but even eta said as close not smoother :D

Well, for me, once I saw the smooth-as-silk gliding of the automatics or mechanicals, I couldn't take the clunk, clunk, clunk of the quartz. ...
Look closely and you will see 'smooth-as-silk', on a 28,000 BPH watch (most mechanicals), is acutally 8 discreet twitches of the second hand per second. (You can actually see this if your eyes are good enough.) Only tuning fork watches are 'smooth-as-silk', at least to the human eye. (They have about 100 twitches per second.)
But Aardvarks have such visual acquity that it is believed they can see the twitches on Omega f300s.
(I wonder if Aardvarks could collect watches what would they like??)happy1.gif
