Are you still there? So what's the answer, is it a quartz, and what exactly isn't lining up. The minute hand or the seconds hand? The minute hand you can adjust, the seconds you cannot. On my quartz, the seconds hand usually falls between the markers, instead of on them as I would like.
Life is too short to sweat the small stuff, at least that's what I keep telling myself.

Have a good new year all
