Second Hand doesn't move easily on startup
Quick Q for the the tech experts.
When I was changing the time on my 16610 recently for daylight savings, I hacked the second hand and moved the watch ahead 1 hour. I pushed the crown back in and the watch didn't start up. I had to give it a slight tap. It has never done this before but...It has always done this when I'm winding my watch from a dead stop. I always have to give it a slight tap to get it moving. It has been like this for some time. It is a M series if that matters. Is this normal? My Panerai's (base ETA 6497 and JLC 8 day) don't do this. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the pallet stones are getting a bit dry. Rikki
