Okay i was bored and decided to fix my tudor oysterdate prince hands since date change was happening at 11:15pm, the date changes at 12 now but the movement is stopping now[emoji27] . Winding by crown was super tight when i purchased the movement new which is worse now, If i tap the balance wheel or give the watch violent shake it works for sometime then stops again, so what did i mess up ugh. It's a seagull eta clone movement, any help or suggestions are appreciated before i order new movement.

First thing I'd check would be that nothing has been left loose in the movt. such as a screw or movement holder tab. Whilst your at it take out the movt. and see if its still hard to wind. As you know these are not expensive movts so buying and fitting a new one is probably cheaper then getting it serviced, thats if you know someone who can.
