Broken Rolex. Help!.

[elnino]

Hi all, can anyone give me some advice on what could be broken on my rolex?. Its a perpetual date chronometer, model no15210. It just stopped one day, the second hand now only moves slightly back and for if I give it a tap. It did tick anti-clockwise for about 15 sec once :shock: . So if anyone can help as to what the problem is I would very much appreciate.

Also a customer of my dads is a watch maker (used to work for rolex) who could repair it but I am worried because I heard rolex will only supply authorised repair centres with parts. Is this the case or have I been missinformed. Thanks for any replies.

If the second hand is going backwards more than likely it will be the mainspring that needs attention!

Thanks for the reply WC, by attention do you mean replacement?, if so have you any idea what that will set me back?.
