Times stops at 6:15

Hello, I'm a complete novice with all the gear and no idea. I have a couple of lovely electric Timex but have a problem with one which stops at 6:15 every day. I don't know anything about it so have attached a picture, it's nice isn't it. Any advice would be most welcome.

Maybe the hands get stuck on something? Like the date window? 

Nice watches but they can't be  repaired? Or maybe someone can? They are very often very cheap and a built to use and abuse and throw away? 

To bad as they often look good? 

Do you now which movement that is inside? 

Take a look on electric-watches? I think he has some Timex articles? http://www.crazywatches.pl/home

As my other friends here , i would say that the hands get stuck at precisely 6:15  but..... for the electric timex , i'm not sure but you'll need to remove the lens just for the hands... tell us , Has your Timex already fallen to the ground ? because it is possible if your watch has fallen to the ground or if you violently hooked it on something hard

Typically it didn't get stuck this morning. I haven't dropped it but maybe it has been abused in the past. Any suggestions? 

I've read through some impressively technical posts. It always surprises me the level of collective knowledge on public forums. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

    • Could it be an abbreviation for Denier? "Denier (/ˈdɛniər/) or den (abbreviated D), a unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers, is the mass in grams per 9,000 metres of the fiber. The denier is based on a natural reference: a single strand of silk is approximately one denier; a 9,000-metre strand of silk weighs about one gram." The pivot gauge looks interesting, however I wouldn't trust myself to drive a pivot into a wedge incase it jams and gets damaged/snaps trying to get it free. More a comment on my ability and incompetence than the quality or design of the tool 🤣
    • @clockboy The damage on the movement much worse. The images against the green background are my watch the other 2 are from the internet. The rotor has erased the perlage. I am surprised how is this watch still running.
    • Hi All, I recently bought a few gauges on Ebay. One of those was my actual target, a roller jewel gauge. Pictured below was one of the other gauges I received. From what I gather, this one is for measuring pivots. No sure if I'm right here. A confirmation of my assumption would be great. The gauge also has an abbreviation of "DEN". I have looked around and don't find this relative to watchmaking. Any clue to what this abbreviation means? Thanks, Don
