Not sure if it is the angle. The second hand tip seems really long.

The counterweight on the sweep hand is the correct length when it overlaps the center of the Mercedes hand

It looks like a shadow. Notice where the shade on the dial is and where the shadow of the minute hand falls.


Watch looks good to me but I'm no expert.
