DJ Trouble - Won't Run

Help !!! I have a DJ that I don't wear daily, so I have to set the date and time routinely. I set the time and date yesterday as normal but the watch will not run ! I can change the time and the date but that's it ! The second hand will not run ! It actually runs backwards for 5 to 7 seconds and then stops. You can see it trying to go forward, but it just pulses like it is stuck ! Any ideas ? I live in Texas, Should I bring to the local dealer or to the RSC ? (I'm new, but I did read the abbreviations first) Appreciate any advice !

Sounds like it's time to visit the Dallas Rolex Service Center. Hope you get it worked out.

Be prepared to shell out at least $500 for that service! Let me know if I am wrong about the service fee.

Stop adjusting and playing with it as you may cause further damage. Take it to RSC right away.

Let us know how it turns out.

Of course they don't run, they don't have legs, only hands!
Thought you might need a chckle.
Hope it turns out NOT to be an expensive venture!

Sounds like a broken mainspring..

You don't say how old it is, but these are items that need to be changed periodically...
