I believe the current Rolex mechanical movements beat 28,800 per hour. So its 8 ticks per second will look more like a smooth sweep than will a quartz movement that ticks once per second.

That said, I suspect there are plenty of fake Rolexes out there with mechanical movements too so don't rely on this indicator alone to determine authenticity. Have an expert check it out to be sure.

Regards,

Markus
