Hey guys, I was given a Blue face Colt 44 on black pro2 rubber with the push button clasp.... and man it a beauty!!!! Ive noticed the seconds hands don't match up all the way around the watch. Is this common? Should I send this in to Breitling to look at? any help is appreciated as this is my first Breitling!!! Thanks!

If you mean that the seconds hand doesn't exactly land on the second marks when it ticks that's perfectly normal. Even though the watch is quartz it has a series of gears in it that control the movement of the hands and to prevent the gear wheels from binding there has to be some play which results in some variation in the positioning of the hands. It's more visible with the seconds hand because the variance is more pronounced at the tip.
