Intermittent hacking issue?

Hi all,

Yesterday my fiancé gifted me a new Omega AT 38mm (8800 caliber) for an engagement gift.

I was playing around with the crown and I noticed one time when I pulled to the time setting position (position 3), the seconds hand continued moving. I pushed the crown back in, pulled it back out and it hacked the seconds hand fine. Pressing the crown back in and trying again has remedied it.

I was nervous something might’ve been wrong with this new watch, so I tried to recreate the issue many times. I must’ve pulled out the crown at least 20 more times and it hacked the seconds hand perfectly fine, although I was able to recreate the issue once more where the seconds hand continued moving.

My question: Since this issue occurred infrequently, is this considered a problem? Is there a reason to be concerned if the watch is running well and keeping good time?

I’m not sure if it’s considered a problem if it’s a one off or if it’s infrequent. I’m wondering if any of you have similar experiences.

I've had this happen before. I assume your watch is covered by warranty. If so, take it easy and don't sweat it. You have plenty of time to determine if it's a real issue. I do not advise continually trying to replicate the problem. Just enjoy the watch and see if the issue recurs organically.

Thank you, that’s very reassuring to hear.

Thanks for the advice, it’s reassuring to hear. I tried to replicate the problem only because it’s a new watch and I was feeling very nervous when I noticed it. I’ll stop trying to replicate the issue now that my anxiety is at ease.

Thats a great engagement gift, you lucky man. Must be a great girl!

And as always, pics please.

I'm glad we could help.
