Wow. What is the context behind this wheel train?

Which part number is it and was it recommended by Rolex as a fix?

This photo (or one very similar) has been published before and contributed to the lack of lubrication theory that has been bantered about these last few years. You can see a groove worn at the top of the pivot... (I believe that is the correct term for the portion that inserts into a jewell).

I think it was the second wheel picture you mean?
Yes there is a groove in the pivot (normal spot for wear)
But the design of the axle is also changed, maybe just a production
change or its for something.

In for service, it was about 7 years old.
No recommendation just a discovery i made being curious and looking for wear on parts and also comparing old and new parts.

There is information that the pallet bridge needs epilame because of migration of lubricant from dial side, interfering with the pallet fork, this information came a couple of years ago and was updated information for many calibers(3135, 2235 etc) and not exclusively for 32.
