Noob 116519 freewheeling?

I just received a Noob 166519. The balance wheel is loud and seems to be freewheeling.

I would the watch 10x and by mid day the chronograph and second hand stopped. When I went to wind it, it felt tight.

It is now running but, I’m concerned that the automatic mechanism is either disengaged or is overwinding (hence the tight winding?)

Thoughts?

I would send it to service
Sounds like lubrication/debris issue

Good advice. I bought lubricant and picks to do it myself. It’s much better now.

I also found a used gen wheel and am going to put it on for a baseline since I have a 116500 on the way.
