Another 'please don't start chambering your weapons people' post

Sitting here watching 2 watches 'keeping time', an Oyster Perpetual & a Seiko Spring Drive. The Oyster's second hand is not ticking like a quartz but even at 28'800BPH the balance's beat makes the second hand kind of jerky in its travel. The Spring Drive Seconds Hand is following time with no perceptible beat error – I assume it’s showing the time… the ‘actual time’. The more I watch the Seiko’s Seconds Hand the more the 3135 appears to be accelerating and decelerating during its travels round.....or is this all just the liquor

Anyway, my question is this, does the 3135 only show the actual true time twice per second and, is it fair to term the Rolex Seconds Hand a 'Sweep Seconds' hand?
