Movement Stops After 30 Minutes

Hi all,

So a couple of months ago I purchased a 5296 on M2M. I've worn the watch about 3 times and it seems to already be broken though I am unsure of the cause of it. To describe the issue, the watch will keep adequate time to my knowledge, but after about 30 minutes to one hour, or sometimes after 5 minutes now 5-10 seconds the watch will stop. Pulling out the crown and pushing it back in will reset it for another indeterminant amount of time. It's unfortunate I only wore it 3 times, but I suppose that's the risk of the rep life.

Is this a common issue with a possible fix? Or would it be best to find someone to send it off to for an overhaul to replace the springs?

I vaguely remember the listing saying that one of the screws was a sticker and he replaced it with a real screw and I'm unable to determine which screw it was he was talking about.

Thank you for any advice.
