Title: Minutes and hours hand not aligned
Post by: lowengen on October 27, 2019, 03:46:50 PM

Hi all,

I've got a new Seiko Presage, and just wonder, when the minute hand is exactly at 12, the hour hand is NOT exactly at the respective hour.. only when the minute hand is at 5, its exactly at the respective hour.. please see pics for details.. is this a problem?

It's a common Seiko QA issue-misaligned hands.

Yes. Cocas is right. Its common among seiko alongside it's infamous chapter ring misalignment.

My OCD definitely rejects it. If i'm you, I'll surely send it back to Wisma Chung [Seiko Service centre] to have it fixed.

Yep. I already guess this must a Seiko before clicked into the thread... Jokes aside, great choice on the Presage Cocktail model. I would send the watch to have it fixed too
