New Apollo 8 sometimes stops when using Stopwatch function

[andorjkiss]

I have a new (6 months old) DSOM Apollo 8 moonwatch, that when I use the stopwatch function sometimes (1 out of ten times) stops the entire watch. If I reset the stopwatch hand, the watch returns to running order. Is this something I should be worried about, or is this something that can occasionally happen to a mechanical watch?

That can happen if the watch is near the end of its power reserve. However, if it is happening when the watch is fully wound, it's a problem IMO.

Maybe the hands are binding due to lack of clearance between them.
Does it happen in the same place? Or does it happen wherever the minute hand is?

It can happen, it needs an adjustment.
