I'm not going to give you any recommendation what to buy or not; read the entire thread, but ...
- I have not seen one negative report about a 3230 caliber.
- The tested (CharlesN) Submariner 126610 (3235), purchased in 09/2020, is just stunning in performance.
- Post #1061 summarizes a part of my personal opinion: The earlier 32xx movements (until about 2019) are very likely much more affected than the 2020/21 calibers.
Which watch you intend to buy?

Thank you for the reminder. I so far have only 116613LB bluesy from 2016 and after 5 yrs of being worn almost every day, it's now still doing +1s/week which is quite impressive.
I had been saving up towards a DD40 then I learned about the issue with 3235. I have made up my mind to postpone it as it is too risky.
I also have the feeling that most recent batches may be ok, as they must have heard something and it would be unimaginable for the most trusted brand in the world not to do anything about it. For the last several weeks my thoughts have been changing and now I have set my eyes on a two-tone DJ36 which is less costly and therefore less risky but it will still cost me NZ$18,650, that is if I can get it. That's what I am struggling with now.
Keep in mind that the 2020/21 calibers may not have been running long enough to show any symptoms yet. I would still be very upset if I go ahead with the DJ only to find out it is just another defective piece like many others, even if it is not as expensive.
Thank you again anyway...
