I just received a Breitling chrono colt watch. It is a quartz. I just noticed that the minute hand is not synced with the second hand. When the second reaches 60 the minute hand is not exactly on the mark. I have read some other posts that it will not stay the same but I wanted to know if the time will be off because of this. Also, what is the hacking mechanism? Thanks |

It won't affect time keeping at all. A hacking seconds feature is a watch where the second hand stops when you pull the crown out to adjust the time. |

so can you ever sync the seconds and the minutes on a breitling watch where the seconds are in a subdial?? |

If you pull the crown out to adjust the minutes when the sub seconds is at 60 you can, but as was discussed in the other threads that you said that you had found, it won't stay that way. |

I'm still a little confused with all the terms could you say it a little simpler. |

If there wasn't some free movement of the hand the watch wouldn't run. |
