Not sure it is in spec, today is loosing -3.5s, seems to be getting worse

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.

From the other thread I understand you discuss a 124060 Submariner (3230 caliber) which has lost, after full winding, -3.5 s overnight. Is that correct? With a resting time of assumed 12 hours this would mean a rate of -7 s/d in dial up position! Less DU resting time (e.g. 8 h) is even worse (-10.5 s/d).

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

Thanks for your reply. The 3230 lost 3.5 seconds overnight, during how many hours?

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 …
