A curious trait on 2254

I have written before about the time my SMP was losing per day. Well I managed to give some of my other watches wrist time and when I went back to the SMP it was stopped. Ok, so I know they are supposed to stop after 40 hours so. Mine went about 46'ish if my math was right. What was weird was the fact that the seconds hand stopped dead center of the minutes hand. I mean dead center. Hmmmm, so I shook it a few times and after it finally started moving it went a bit over an hour and stopped again, dead center of the minutes hand. I noticed this once before but thought it was coincidence. I have looked at other auto watches and I had a Breitling that stopped in random positions. It also seems to take a bit of shaking before mine starts again. Could this explain my time loss per day. I read others having 2 secs +/- per day and wonder. The watch is 6 months old.
