The resistance sounds right but the capacitance is an order of
magnitude out. Watch crystals are usually around the 10-12pF load
capacitance. The extra will be attenuating it enough that you would
expect it to start slowly, although with that amount, you should be
happy that it starts at all.
Drop your capacitors to around 20pF.
