Seamaster second hand

I have posted this message on the timezone BB before and am trying to see if I can get some more comments here.

I recently purchased a mid-size Omega Seamaster quartz. I love the watch. One thing I noticed though is that the second hand does not align perfectly with the tick marks as it moves. I have been paying extra attention to the close-up scans of quartz Seamasters and noticed that some of them have the same problem (if indeed it is a problem). My question is: are they suppose to line-up? Having paid over 1k for a watch I expected it to be VERY precise, or I am just too picky?

Any comments is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
