Flightmaster 911 2nd hour hand issue
I've recently added an Omega Flightmaster 911 (continuous seconds register at 9 o'clock) to my collection - it's a watch I've been thinking about for some time and I finally pulled the trigger. I'm a huge fan of GMT / World Timer / 2nd time zone complications.
The watch is keeping excellent time, but the second hour hand (the blue one) seems to drift around.
I set both hour hands to the same time, wound the watch and left it on a shelf for 24 hours and they're both still in sync, so I can only assume the crown (at 10 o'clock) is bumping against my wrist and the hour hand is moving as a result.
So, Purists, is this something that can be fixed, or is it just something I'll have to put up with?

its possible that the hand is just loose
when working in a static position it would be ok, but it might be slipping when moving on the wrist and have nothing to do with the crown. i would recommend a service anyway. G.
Flightmaster hour hand issue
Hi, I had a c911 completely restored by Omega (actually, mine's a transitional c911 in a c910 case) that came back looking absolutely pristine. Within a couple of months, I had the same issue with the second hour hand-it would "drift" for lack of a better...
