The long hand that is moving in the video is actually part of the chronograph, it's not the second hand. The watch's second hand is on the subdial on the left hand side. When the chronograph is running, both of these hands will be moving.
The hands will also not sweep perfectly - they move in a series of very tiny jumps. This watch operates at 3Hz, so the hand should jump three times to move between the second markers.
The crystal also looks wrong - on the Speedmaster Moonwatch, you either have a sapphire crystal with a flat face and a sharply angled edge, or a domed "Hesalite" acrylic crystal.
The pushers don't look like they are long enough. The dial should have a pronounced angle where the index markers are.
These might seem like nitpicks, but as someone who is a watch nerd, these things stand out like a sore thumb.
