details...

Is it me or does anyone else get annoyed that the minute hand isn't exactly on the respective minute mark on the dial when the second hand is at 12 (0 sec)? I guess the first question should be has anyone else had this issue or have they even noticed? I once had a chronograph that when reset the arm was supposed to park at 12 but it was just a fraction off to the left and it drove me nuts.

This has been mentioned before, but to be honest I've never looked at it that closely.

my subc doesn't align correctly when the second hand is at 12 o'clock. I assume I could pull the crown out to set the time right as the second hand approached the top and roll the minute hand around to exactly on the spot...

sounds like a lot of effort. i have a few other cheapo watches and none of those line up exactly.

Well, since it's you that sets the minute hand whenever you set the watch, I might say that it's not the watches fault...
