i think you misinterpreted the post
In Response To: Re: Second hand On My New Omega ()

it seemed to me like Welshman was commenting that when the second stops (where it ticks) the second hand stops in between minute markers, rather than stopping on them.

now that i look at my seiko, it is stopping a bit off too... but not in between the markers.

: On every mechanical watch I've ever owned, that
: is controlled by how you set the watch.
: There is NOTHING about the watch mechanism
: of a mechanical watch that even attempts to
: force the second hand and minute hand to be
: perfectly in sync. Have seen a few advanced
: quartz watches that do that, one of which is
: the Breitling Aerospace.

: To correct is childishly simple. Stop the
: second hand at 0, set the time so the minute
: hand is also exactly on a minute, then start
: the watch. That should take care of it.
