<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 610421, member: 6444"]By sweep around I assume you mean ticks are less than one second; as I recall mine clicks four times a second, not really "sweep". That doesn't work on ebay though where all you get are pictures of the outside and no motion. Buying a watch without seeing the inside is like buying a piece of silver, glass or pottery without looking at the base; or buying a piece of furniture without looking in a drawer or underneath. It may be worth doing if the reward/risk ratio is high enough, but you shouldn't count on it working out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
