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.

    • Yea a have given it a full service this movement is chinese 2813 whats the left angle for this movement does anyone knows  and how to do a remove the default 52 degrees on my timegrapher?
    • Sure! Some very accomplished repairers never use epilame! I have often wondered if it is worth the trouble. Not using epilame will shorten the service intervals though, but that could be better perhaps both for the owner and the repairer!? Speaking of oiling, I just read this: After WWII in the 1950s the first Synthetic Oils came on the market. Most watchmakers did not rush to use these oils since they were bad for business now that the watch serviced with Synthetic oil would not come back to him for service for another 5-7 years he would lose a lot of income. ~Ofrei.com   Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be more correct to think of epilame as a binder rather than a repellant. Until convinced otherwise that's how I will think of epilame.
    • I read that same article last night  H.  I think epilame is too much headache for me, sources aren't always accurate, some conflicting. Such is the GRAVITY of this situation, Is it ok if i just STICK  to a thixotropic oil 🤣
    • Not sure I follow along. As I stated in one of my previous posts, the epilame will remain intact between rubbing parts as long as the surface is lubricated by oil or grease. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but note how the epilame-treated surface is illustrated in @Waggy's post. It looks like the oil is exposed to a binder (epilame!) so that it can't move sideways.
    • The epilame under the oil will also be removed  Unless the oil makes a barrier between the epilame and the escape teeth 😅 I think i need two strong coffees now 🤣
