I mean the only way to know for sure is to put it on a timegrapher. Make sure it's fully wound as watches can lose time more rapidly towards the end of their power reserve.

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
Quote:
How old is your watch? It looks to me you bought the watch in Feb. 2024? It would be very interesting to measure the caliber amplitudes after full winding, in all 5 positions. You/We will learn nothing if you bring it to RSC now, as you posted here. Your Submariner is interesting (to me) because it is a NEW 32xx watch (to be confirmed). |

Yes it is a new Sub, collected from AD in March. I am also very interested because I have a nbrand new OP41 which sits at +1 dead set, no matter how I wear it or rest it. will put it on the timegrapher first before taking it to RS, will keep you posted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
Quote:
In case you want to know more about the timegrapher measurement procedure we use here to obtain comparable data, I am ready to answer your questions in this thread. A comparison between your Submariner and the brand new OP41 is of course interesting too. PS: we can see just now, there still is a lot of interest in this 32xx data thread … |

The thread is also interesting to me for a completely, although connected, different reason.
I sold all my 32xx based Rolex watches because they all have the "dreaded curse". I will come back to getting another Rolex watch (I just have one at the moment). I have an Exp II with a 3187 movement .. A delight of a movement. As soon as I see new watches coming through that are more "Stable" Ill be back for more. In then meantime I have swapped over to another brand that seem to produce extraordinarily good, accurate and precise watches.

My 126610 after 9 months of ownership. Amplitude seems healthy, weirdly seems more accurate after 24 hours than at full charge. Watch was also losing more time on wrist than the timegrapher suggests so I'll monitor a bit but seems like it's still fine.

Wrong on both brands I am afraid.
I have been collecting Blancpain watches as a replacement for my addiction.

Question, since this thread is already unbeleavably long, I read somewhere that Rolex has maybe developed a possible fix for the movements? Could someone tell about it?

If you read somewhere why you don't report what you read? What has your reading to do with the length of this thread? I'm asking because I don't understand your post.

I read it in this thread a short while ago, that it looked like that way less movements that were sent back for service, and less new owners complaining about the watches. So here my question if someone knows facts on a possible solution Rolex made?

I have been following this thread and other discussions of the 32XX issue pretty closely. While there have been some comments (from Bas, as I recall) that fewer 32XX movements seem to be in need of servicing, I am not aware of any specific determination of the cause of, much less the solution for, the problem. Until Rolex themselves confirm the problem and a permanent fix, I will assume the problem has not been cured.

Rolex will never confirm there was a problem - hopefully, it will be silently resolved.

I agree, in part. If/when solved in production we will likely never hear about it. However, with the units already on the streets, I would like to believe there would be a service bulletin describing a remedy other than swap parts until the problem goes away.
