So…..
after doing a bit more research and talking with Robse1 ( member here ), I discovered that the misaligned hand may actually be “normal”
in this gen model review…Interestingly enough you will see while watching this video (from WATCHES TV - youtube):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBSXBJK46GA, if you observe the red model (between 1:30 & 1:33), you will see that as they tilt the watch, the seconds hand (long red hand) moves !!!
This will likely be some sort of gear slack in this model ETA quartz as it seems all the gen Endurance pros will do this.
interesting… so to ensure the rep is as gen like as possible , it should also have the misaligned hand that moves a bit. Lolololololol…..
