I inherited a 3131 rolex bubbleback watch from my father and decided to polish the case. I took out the stem by loosening the screw inside after taking the back off and removed the works. I polished the case and put the works back. The watch is fully wound but quits working after a few minutes now. If you advance the hands clockwise by setting it it starts back up again and then stops until you advance it again. What did I do wrong. Ive done this with other watches but havent had this happen. any suggestions would be helpful. I dont live close to any watch mechs.
