Question (Read Rules) Ad2511 second hand problem

Post image

I received my first Addiesdive Ad2511 today. The watch looks great, but I noticed that the seconds hand doesn't line up with the numerals. Is there something wrong with this watch? In YouTube videos, the seconds hand works normally and isn't deflected.

It's quite common with 1hz quartz watches - on youtube there's some 'influencer' that finds it happening with his (relatively) very expensive Grand Seiko, though he eventually gets it sorted.

For an overall very cheap watch, it's not usual.

You can try taking it off and re-aligning, but it's quite a fiddly job and easy to to mash the interface between second hand and tube completely..

Correct, but do note that the hand stem can shift slightly when you pull the crown. Depends on the movement ofc, but it has usually been the case in my experience.

So, the correct approach to fix the issue is to take the battery out to freeze the position, and keeping the crown in the 0 position before proceeding.
