I recently purchased a 14270 that was RSC serviced about a year ago under prior ownership. I have the warranty tag with the data of 1/2020. I was getting concerned that my caliber 3000 would wind, keep great time, and have adaquate power reserve but would not run after winding when fully wound down. It requires a mild shake to get it going. I only have a few months of warranty from the RSC service and considered sending it back, but if this is normal I won't bother.

I have had this problem with older vintage watches with unknown service history but did not expect it with this watch. Glad to read it is not abnormal.
