I have often thought of buying the quartz blk/blk Seamaster ( I have other mechanical Omegas) but have found when looking at them in the shops that the seconds hand does not line up with the indices from thirty seconds onwards on each minute, from zero to thirty they line up. Has this problem been resolved or is it still an issue. I have seiko and other watches that line up perfectly, is it too much to expect from a thousand dollar watch. I am lead to believe that the quartz movement in these watches is one of the best around. The watch casing bracelet etc is what you would expect from Omega, any thoughts on this?
Regards,
Terry.
