Hour hand slightly ahead, within spec?

I have had my new to me Speedmaster coaxial chronograph for about two months now, and recently noticed that the hour hand appears to be slightly ahead. There is some play when you use the jumping hour function so I tried it a couple of times, but this is the best I could get it to line up. This is a quick picture I took with my iPhone. I can take a better picture with a real camera if necessary.


I did some research and it seems like this issue is often covered under warranty, but not always as sometimes it still considered “in spec” even if it isn't perfectly aligned. Would you all consider this to be in spec or should I pursue a service under warranty?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Finally got a chance to upload a pic with hour hand on 12.

Ok thanks, I figured that was the case. I'm hoping to take it by an AD soon.

This sort of stuff really bothered in. I’ve now come to accept it. I had more issues from watchmakers opening up an otherwise perfect watch. The thing with hand alignment is it’s not a defect like a scratched or chipped dial etc. simply a human setting it slightly off and there is backlash in the gear train as well you can’t completely eliminate. When you get the watch service it will go through this lottery again.

I'd leave it like that. Makes no difference in day by day use.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
