: mark? Something I've always done since I was a kid.

Nope, you're not unique. I do the same (had to do it 3 times on my AT on July 1st to get it spot on). I bugs the hell out of me if the hands don't line up, particularly on the hour (6 and 12 being especially important). I'm not sure if this makes me obsessive-compulsive or just anally retentive. Either way, I'm comfortable with it!
