Looked down and realized I was an hour behind. Shook it and it started ticking again so went to take a shower. Looked down again in 5 mins or so and dead again. Tried winding it, it wouldn’t wind.
Took it to Rik Dietel and found out it had never been serviced.
If you are fairly active it probably needs a service. Realistically, if no provenance it needs a service anyways as yours could be like mine and never serviced.

Agreed.
I normally don't get much more than 5-5.5 years out of a daily worn auto winder before it needs a service to put it right.
Usually they stop randomly or altogether so it's the winding mechanism that starts playing up due to my activity levels.
Timekeeping is always very good and unchanged with the exception of one watch that went about 13 years until it's first service as an occasional wearer before timekeeping started to progressively shift and one could also see the ball bearing mounted Rotor starting to get a little sluggish on rotation through the Saphire caseback.
A service puts them right as one would expect
