Anyone experienced this with a new watch. Not something I typically check for, never have with any of my collection since the date is always set by the boutique prior to handoff after sale. Does this require service?

Would only need hands to be correctly assembled at 12 o'clock.

Thanks for response - I have never heard or seen that before. I have a steel AT with the cal 8900 that doesn’t do that. Is it a common occurrence you are aware of?

So when they assemble the movement they "set" the time with no hands. Once it kicks over the date they put the hands on it set to midnight. Never heard of one being off from the factory.

This is likely not a movement issue. If it changes at the same time every 24 hours the hands were put on the watch incorrectly. As noted, it's an easy fix.

Where did you buy the watch? From an AD or OB? This doesn't sound like something that would happen with an Omega straight from the factory.

Purchased from boutique. I am heading there now, we went out of town after purchase so wasn’t able to return back until today. Right, the QC on a Sedna/steel watch just failed, I have been wanting a two tone and it fix the bill perfectly, this one was just perfect looking.

OB is requesting a completely new one 😀

Now I’m going to be running every watch I purchase through the 24 hours for that check haha
