Happy new year to one and all ,

I recently took a wee punt on a watch of eBay a Seamaster 145.029 (movement 861 )the problem's arises when i wind the watch i get to about 10 turns off the crown and i hear a click the watch never gets fully wound up every 10 turns i keep hearing this click i would say the watch runs for around 12-15hrs before it stops . my intention is to have it service.
i'm just queries if anyone can shed some light on this for me.

photo of the watch is attached ..

thanks in advance

steve
