watch stopped running

Hi all,

I have owned an Electric blue SMP automatic chronometer for nearly a year. It keeps fantastic time and I am very pleased with it. However, at least twice since I have had the watch, it stopped running immediately after being reset and wound after it ran-down. The first time it failed to run after winding, I merely pulled the crown in and out a few times and then the second hand started moving again. The most recent time the watch stopped, I could not get it to run again by merely pulling and pushing the crown a few times. It took a while of playing with it to get it to run again. Again, this does not happen often. Is this a serious problem, or just something that happens very far and few in between? Anybody else experience this with any other SMP 300 automatics? Your comments would be welcome.

Thanks.
