 Chapter ring/indeces must be a little irregular.  Watch exhibits the common quartz Sec hand/minute mark offset.  But this one's not just a matter of a sloppy handset, or a chapter ring installed a little off kilter.  The second hand nearly splits some indeces in two in it's travel around the dial, while  others it doesn't quite reach 1/3 across the index.  Sec hand is nearly right on the chapter ring minute track in some places, while it's half a sec behind on others.

Normally, this kinda thing just requires a minor sec hand repositioning, or a fractional dial/chapter ring rotation to straighten things out.  That type of fix wouldn't work this time.  Little odd, never run into this before!

Watch looks super, nice weighty reminder on the wrist (very un-Seiko in that regard), great lume, perfect Pepsi presentation, upscale bracelet & clasp...  but it's gonna take some wear to decide whether this on again/off again sec hand/minute track mismatch is gonna be less... or more annoying!
