My Milgauss was accurate twice today...

So. 116400 purchased late 2015. Was running fast in early 2016, regulated under warranty by Dallas RSC.

Since then, it's been on the two weeks on/two weeks off wrist rotation.

Yesterday, it stopped running. I noticed this morning. First I wound it 40 clockwise rotations. Nothing. I looked at it (on my wrist) three hours later. Nothing.

An hour later, I noticed it was running. I set it, and it's been accurate for four hours.

??? Thoughts? Should it round trip to RSC, or ignore it if it holds time for a week?

Perplexed.

Some times a jiggle is needed to get things moving.

I would not ignore this behavior.

I would seek professional advice ASAP.

It ran great, within a second, all afternoon.

Stopped dead at 10:30pm. Winding doesn't help.

It's in a taped up registered mail box, on the way to Dallas RSC.

I just find "Runs great - Stops dead - Runs great - Stops dead" to be an odd failure pattern, any guesses?
