Recently got my CA M1 from my local AD, and noticed a significant misalignment of the chronograph hands. They land midway between the minute tick-marks on the face. How much misalignment would be considered reasonable? Are there any fixes for this or should I take it back in to the AD? Thanks for your help.

Simple question deserves a simple answer.
None is acceptable for a watch in such a class.
When I got my Jupiter Pilot back from servicing I had just the same problem, sent it back to BB and BB solved it.
When I got my B-2 I discovered a small schratch (about 1.5 second indications long) in one of the subdials. Took em 8 weeks to replace the dial but they solved it under warranty.

So if it a problem for you, take it back to your AdD and let BUSA solve it.
Hope my answer helps you.

I agree. In luxury good like these, I have zero tolerance when it comes to things not being spot on. Back to Breitling I'd say.

You can try reset it while crown is pulled. It usually works on Quartz watches.

This was just the tip to help me remember how to adjust my Colt ChronoOcean ;-)

Thanks
