A misalignment is not unusual and normally is not a sign of a defect or problem. Certain moving or movable parts of a watch, particularly the second hand and the rotating bezel, have their exact stopping positions controlled by mechanical components (springs, gears, and ratchets). The exact precision of the stopping points for these elements can change slightly over time as the new mechanisms settle in and gradually wear over time from use. These are not defects or imperfections. They are minor differences within normal tolerances of precision and wear for such mechanisms. Watch manufacturers may intentionally set components a small fraction of an inch off to compensate for how the mechanism is expected to settle in from use. It is not unusual for a new watch owner to scrutinize their watch to extremes and stress over any perceptible inconsistency they can find. But some buyers can go to the level of observing details that are below the threshold of reasonable expectation of perfection
