This has been a big misconception regarding Rolex watches, "sweeping" versus "ticking". And in the past people used this as a method of identifying counterfeit Rolex watches. The truth is, genuine Rolex watches do, in fact, "tick". However, they tick at around 5 to 6 times per second, so it gives the illusion of "sweeping" or "floating" around the dial. If you watch the second hand with a loupe you can see it. See similar questions...

On January 17, 2001, the U.S. District Court in Columbia, SC, charged two individuals with selling allegedly counterfeit versions of Rolex watches. Their website claimed the watches to be "replicas".

No we do not. The cylinder escapement was quite advanced when it was invented by Tompion in 1659, but it fell out of use in the late 19th century as it was supplanted by the far more efficient and accurate English Lever escapement. We find that, in most cases, the cylinder watches we run across are not good candidates for restoration and can seldom be made into good timekeepers. We also find that the cost of restoration often exceeds the value of the watch. See similar questions...
