Just gave my 6.75 maybe 20 turns from a dead stop and when I pushed the crown guard in the seconds hand didn't start. It took a few tries, the last pulling it out into the last (move the hands) position. Is it normal for a watch to be a little stubborn sometimes when you wind it from stopped. |

Well as you are probably aware, a full wind is 40 turns, not 20, but that shouldn't impact starting. The watch may simple be out of beat which is usually solved by rotating the watch through 360 degrees while looking at the dial, or it may be a sign that the running train is losing lubrication and the watch is in need of a service. |

Thanks. I'd say it's just out of beat considering it's basically still a new watch, and was direct from the factory with the quick dealer stop on the way. It's nothing that really has me concerned, especially now knowing there is a logical explanation. |
