PO (cheap movement) can't change data under its own power.

I have a PO lite with a cheap movement in, it worked finr for a bit but now can now no longer change the date, it appears to struggle for power.

When the watch gets to about 11:30 (30 mins before date changes) it will just stop, if you shake it vigorously it will start again. Everything else works as it should.

Is this just a case of lack of lube do you think?

Is it worth me taking it apart slightly and trying to oil it? I have some v.thin oil. It's not worth trying to get it fixed properly as it was so cheap.

Well I took the movement out, had a quick look on ebay and found it looks almost identical to : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Asia-Automatic-Watch...1QQcmdZViewItem

Decided just to buy that and have ago at a swap myself, if I muck it up not much lost its only cheap.
