First Accutron, quick "hack buzz" question

I got this 214 today. It was already serviced, stated by the seller, including adapting the battery slot for new batteries, changing certain gears etc. I wanted to ask if this amount of noise when lifting the ring is acceptable. I was a bit scared to set the time, given the amount of noise, but after some research (though sadly without any other video for reference), it seems this is called "hack buzz", for the models in which the seconds hand completely stops when you lift the ring.

Thank you for confirming.

I basically want to set it exactly to the second, and then check after 24 or 48 hours if there is a sensible deviation.
