2019 1167010LN Stopped overnight

Hi all,

Proud first time Rolex owner of a grey market (bought here on forums through trusted boutique about a year ago) January 2019 116710LN GMT. Last week I woke up to find my watch had stopped overnight - only realized a few minutes after I had put it back on so I didn't see if it restarted once I put it on or not, but it was working when I noticed, just now several hours behind. I set it back to the correct time and have had no issues since (been about 5 days). I had been quarantining pre-xmas so wasn't moving around a ton in my apartment, but I had definitely been wearing the watch the day that it later stopped overnight. Guess my question is, do I have anything to worry about? Is it possible that the battery just got low from a lack of vigorous movement due to me being a quarantine couch potato?

Thank you!

Wind it

There is probably nothing wrong with your watch, except that it ran down.

No battery on your watch. It winds with a rotor and stores power in a mainspring.

Si se paro del todo, puede ser por falta de carga del automático.
Si atraso horas, solo horas y no minutos, es por el muelle de trinquete de la rueda de horas saltantes.

Please read your instruction manual.
I assume you got one with the watch?
You seem new to the world of automatic mechanical watches.
