In Response To: Seamaster 300M Quartz second hand not overlap ()

Steve,
You are correct that the second hand alignment can be adjusted by a watchmaker, but this "problem" is actually normal. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. If you walk into any watch shop and look at SMP quartz models, you'll see that virtually all of them suffer from the fact that the second hand doesn't appear to hit "dead on" with the minute markers. Even my dad's quartz 2264.50 SMP is like this.

I always felt this was inexcusible on a $1700 watch until I found out why, thanks to Teeritz's post below:
