Get stuck?
Are you fully winding them?
Have you looked closely (with a loupe) to see if the hands are interfering with each other or the second hand is rubbing the crystal?
21J movements tend to either run or not. What you're describing sounds odd.

When you unscrew the crown the first position, which you should be in, will be the winding position. The first stop when you pull it is the date change and the second pull is the time setting.

You might want to read the first post in my signature: Why you need to wind your watch.

If you need 21j movements in the future they can be found on Jacskons site for around $30. ;)
