the second watch is a Zenith El Primero which is an in house movement that beats at 36,000. You can still see the jumps, but it is much more fluid in it's movement, especially when viewed normally and not under a macro lens.

28,000 vs 36,000

Thanks for uploading the video. The movement on that Zenith is very smooth. The Tag Monaco actually looks smoother than the movement on my watch. No wonder it is so heavily discounted from the MSRP. I'll have to upload the video and see if you guys think that the movement is "normal" for my watch or something wrong with it. I'll definitely look at VPM next time I purchase a watch.
