• Thanks for that.

    I hear you, but most reviews of the 9F online mention that it does hit the indices perfectly. Find it confusing to say the least.

  • Seiya Kobayashi says it best here

    SEIKO has come out with Backlash auto-adjust mechanism, which they use
    in the Grand Seiko Quartz for reducing second hand mis-alignment.

    The Grand Seiko Quartz uses the power of the spring to reduce the
    slight second hand mis-alignment that is created by the backlash as
    much as possible. (It’s like stopping the motion of a moving object
    with the power of a spring, which is difficult to wrap my head
    around.)

    Even though the misalignment is far less noticeable in Grand Seiko is
    n comparison to any other watch, even the meticulously crafted Grand
    Seiko suffers from a slight second hand mis-alignment. (Sorry SEIKO)
