Could it be that the sweep timing hand was not in synch with the lower sub-dial? I have never owned a Daytona, but I did notice the upper right sub-dial advanced one minute as the sweep hand crossed 12, but the lower sub-dial, which I believe records 60 seconds, did not match the large sweeping hand, which also recorded some 60 plus seconds. Maybe the stopwatch hand was started and stopped and restarted. I am not very familiar with the watch, but that is what I noticed.

The second hand does not maintain concentricity.

He's probably bored or he has a thing for the second hand.

For some reason it made me think of an old children's song:

The wheels on the truck go round and round
Round and round
Round and round
The wheels on the truck go...................

I don't think theres anything wrong, I think if there was something wrong BO would most probably know what it is. He's asking if YOU get this...like theres some more meaning to the fact that his second hand is running...maybe it means he got his daytona back from service...who knows? :)

If you look, the minute hand also seems to lag. It doesn't line up with the minute marker exactly until the seconds hand is around 14.

Same thing here! At some point, I did some to spot the chrono hand "jumping" around the "31" marker, but when I watched the video again, I could not see anything wrong!

I think it is a Andy Warhol inspired post modernist take on the dissection of time
