I have the same problem! I just got my first Omega Seamaster and I noticed the jerkiness of the Quartz movement. It sometiems overshot the mark and then returned, and it sometimes wuld miss the mark altogether. What a disappointment - I'd wanted an Omega for 10 years and just received this one as a gift. I went to see the jeweller and he said that it was normal.
Sounds like it is...
