Is it just not advancing from a particular spot, or is it always at "S"? In other words, is it stuck on one number, or at S?

If it's always at S, it could just be that the reset lever is hung up with some old gummy seal crumb, and just needs to be cleaned out.

If it's always on one number, then the mechanism is jammed. Once you take the top off, you will be able to see the levers that work the counter, and by observing the action when you wind the advance, may be able to determine which part is hung up where.

Or you might find a spring that has popped off it's securing point, allowing the pawl to lay away from the gear.

You just never know until you pop the top.
