Cartier not ticking

I just revived my watch from Ryan. I was excited when I first took it out and looked at it. Everything was great the first 15 minutes of having it until it just stopped ticking…..when I pull out the wheel and put it back in it will start ticking again but only for a couple minutes and stops ticking again. I do not want to send it back to get repaired as I know this would take forever and there are too many risks. Please any help? ????

As simple as this may sound: Just to understand you correctly, did you wind it?

Sounds like a main spring tension issue.

Don’t send it back. Send it to a forum watchmaker for repair and ask for discount on next purchase

I wouldn't even bother sending it to a watchmaker, I'd just wind it.
