Do any/all have lume (especially the green accent one and the white faced one)? Is the one in the main pic the green one (it looks a bit different to me)? What's this about sweeping but with a definite tick of the second hand? Thanks

Fearlessleader @Tigole These don't have any lume.
Yep, the one featured in our main pics is the Green accent one. I would say that the green shown in our photos are more accurate than the stock photo. In real life, it's a pleasant pastel "green apple" kind of green.
These tick at 21,600 bph, or 6 beats per second, or 3 hz. This is fairly standard for any entry level automatic. It's definitely sweeping, but it doesn't have the smoothest tick. If you focus on the seconds hand, you will notice that it's a bit choppy. (If you don't focus on the seconds hand, you don't really notice it at all.) A common beat rate among slightly upgraded movements is 28,800 bph, or 8 beats per second, or 4 hz. Since these have a higher amplitude, the seconds hand is slightly more smooth.
