Re: second hand twitch
In Response To: second hand twitch ()

: I've got a brand new Omega Seamaster
: Professional 2264.50. I've noticed that
: occasionally (about once every minute or
: two) the second hand appears to twitch or
: jump just a little bit too far forward and
: then pull back (maybe a 1/4 of a second too
: far making it appear as if the second hand
: has twitched or wobbled a little bit. Is
: this normal for this watch or should I be
: concerned? So far it keeps perfect time.

: Thanks!

I think the only time that the second hand should act abnormal is when the battery is low. The econd hand would then jump every three seconds rather than every second. I don't think what you are describing is the same though. You might want to bring it back to where you bought it and ask them to take a look at it or exchange it for another one.
