South bend 217 movement

Hello, I have a south bend pocket watch . It runs accurate face up/down but tends to stop often with pendant up/rt / lt/down. Should a cleaning be in the future ? Anyone has had a pocket watch with this symptom?

At least a cleaning. There is more friction on the balance pivots in the hanging positions than in the laying positions naturally. What you're describing sounds like at least a "dirt" issue but could be a bent pivot also. A good cleaning and inspection will more than likely reveal the cause.
