Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial: Hour hand defect
After I posted 'My First Omega :)' thread. A hero member name 'Tetlee' has noticed that the alignment of my hour hand was misplaced. So, I ran out some test and discovered something you can see it by watching my video:

What I noticed
1. Hour hand not aligned properly
2. Hour hand move when I push my screw down crown back
3. Hour hand hacking feels really weird when turning (loose)
Is this normal for this caliber, I do not have any experience with watch that can hack the hour hand.
PS: I'm still in return coverage.
Mine does it a very small amount. But if I wind mine to 12 o’clock, everything aligns correctly.

I would return it to Omega if you can. The fault would need a watchmaker with access to certain parts to recrify. It looks like the issue lies with tolerances within the motion work.

I bought from Iconic. I want to really make sure that those are the real defect. Because Iconic was offered me the best price. If I return, I have to pay couple hundred quid more to buy a new one with others dealer.Originally Posted by ibby7
i see nothing wrong with it
Do the hands line up at 12 o’clock? If so, then it’s fine.

It sounds like slop in the movement. I expect it's within spec. The next one might be as bad, or worse.
Expecting perfection from watches is a good way to be unhappy. No matter the price.
Well, I agree that you shouldn't expect perfection, but the way the hour hand is misaligned is ridiculous. On the video when it's five sharp the hour hand is way past five.
