This is the first time I've experienced problems with a Rolex in 30 years of owning a DJ. Any input or comment?

Well if the watch will only run for like you say 10 seconds how did it run -5 minutes a day. If the watch will not run after a full manual wind then it could be just two things, 1 mainspring is broken, 2 screw have come lose in the winding stem, or winding mechanism both very simple fixes.
