Yacht II Issue

So I finally did it. Got the 18k/ss yacht II. Beautiful but it seems the red timing hand does not line up exactly at 12. It appears to be slightly to the right. Is this my imagination or? Please let me know.

Will post pics Monday from my office. In looking at several websites where the watch is for sale, quite a few also have the red hand slightly to the right of 12. My AD said he thinks it should be straight up 12. Very frustrating for a watch in this price range.

I have the 18kt yg yacht 2 and you are correct it doesn't center under the 12. It must be normal.

Mine centers up perfectly...

Run the countdown timer for a couple of minutes and then reset!
If it doesn't center, take it in for adjustment under warranty...

You need to press the reset button fully... I stress that.

Mine YG YMII was fine as well.
