Usually it's caused by impact... So it can happen to a 1 year old watch (which is under warranty) or a 15 year-old watch that's never been serviced before, you just never know.

This is the reason why some recommend not to golf with your watch on, unless you NEVER hit the ground That kind of impact could be enough to hurt the rotor axle.
Thanks for the information Larry and Vanessa.

I think that my last golf outing is what caused my watch to go wonky, hence the send off for servicing. I don't take my watch off, ever. Although I don't have a tendency to grind my clubs. The first question they asked me was if I had dropped the watch. Impossible for me to do, since it doesn't leave my wrist. But after five years, it was time for a service. It was looking a bit beat up.
