SMP stopping

Dear all

I have a "bond" style auto SMP chronograph, which is about 4 years old and has never given me any problems. I wear it all day and take it off overnight, leaving it crown up.

For 2 nights running it stopped overnight after about 4 hours, although it started again as soon as I moved it. I have since manually wound it up and so far so good.

Does the power reserve sometimes run low like this and is this typical which auto watches, or is it a sign of an underlying problem? I had it serviced almost exactly one year ago.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Darren
