Update on 3970
An update: After getting thru the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, I stopped by the Patek Service Center (Henri Stern) in NY yesterday. They were very helpful (as always). They fully checked out the watch. In their opinion the watch is fine and the recent service they performed is fine. The second hand jumping issue occurs only when the chrono pusher is pressed slowly or with a half-press hesitation. If pressed swiftly and firmly there is no problem. So it must have been how I was pushing the button. They assured me this is normal and offered to happily look at it again if it issue presents itself again.

I would immediately send it back with a video showing the problem.
Regardless whether your watch did behave like this before servicing or not, after servicing it should perform flawlessly 100% of the time. I would make a video clearly showing the problem and send it together with your watch back to HSWA. Frankly, I find ...
Not normal at all, the 3970 here...
...never did that. It always works flawlessly. Yes, as others have said give the service department a ring and send back the watch as am sure they can bring her back to 100% easily.
The plan
Thanks, everyone. I will head over to HSNY on Monday afternoon (with my service receipt) and have them take a look and hopefully make any adjustments. Will update on what transpires.
