Problems winding my 72 oyster precisions 1210 movement

[andromeda160]

Well like the title said I'm having problems winding my watch, it keeps accurate time still and winds all the way, it slips though, it will wind fine and as it gets to be fully wound, it slips. Then catches again. it happened once a week ago and it happened again when winding it today. Any idea of what's wrong?

When it's fully wound it's supposed to slip.

Every time until now it has felt tight when fully wound(I've owned it for 13 months now), it's not a perpetual movement so I don't believe it has a slipper clutch since the clutch is mainly designed for the perpetual rotor.

Are you saying it came to a dead stop before when fully wound?

Yep. Dead stop, would not twist any further

Then I'm afraid it's time for an oil change.

That's what I figured, She'll sit on the sidelines until I can afford a service by a reputable watchmaker

My 1960 Omega cal 600(manual) tends to do the same thing every once and a while when being wound. All your watch needs is a simple service, but i understand your decision to sideline her until you can raise the funds for a proper service. Im doing the same with my Omega.
