Don't where watches


If this is the case. Does the second hand on the watch spin or tick? Since you arent a watch guy, i guess it is possible you dont know this.

In the pics you sent it looks real, but some fakes are good. Really good. My dad had a high end one from China years ago that ticked. Thing stopped working and he took it to a Rolex dealer to get looked at. Figured it was worth a shot. They opened it up, and after a few minutes said it was identical internally to a Rolex, with cheaper materials. Externally it was a perfect replica, just with cheap materials as well. Wouldnt fix it though, said they would get fired for working on a knock off. They went ahead and opened it because they, like us, were curious.

It seems to tick but not a sloppy noticeable tick. If that makes sense. Someone else said that I should be able to listen to the ticking and it should sound as if it ticks 5 times? Per second? Seems like it.
