Seamaster GMT

I've just bought a Seamaster GMT (300M). Having set & wound it approx 40 turns, the second hand would stop upon arriving at the minute hand whenever the minute hand was coincident with the hour hand, ie at 6.32, 7.37, 8.43 etc. The second hand would start up again when I applied a smart tap with my other hand. Now that I've had it on my wrist for a whole day the anomaly has disappeared and the watch seems to be functioning fine. It almost seemed as if the hour hand wasn't precisely balanced on the centre spindle thereby forcing the minute hand to 'climb' as they approached coincidence, and hence obstructing the second hand in its revolution. Any similar cases?
