Yes. As I understand it there is a movement design issue that causes premature wear on a pivot resulting in gradual slowing. The first "fix" was to lubricate this area (supposedly not done/skipped at the factory) but it was only temporary. Rolex has not, and will not, acknowledge there is a problem. Rather, if there is indeed an issue Rolex will quietly address it internally but we, the end users, will never know what might have been done. Since the 32XX movements came out in 2016 or so there has been plenty of time for any issues to have been sorted out. Some think that the current best approach is to buy models that have been produced after 2020 or so. But......there is no way to know for sure when a 32XX movement might have been produced. For me, the ultimate answer is to have a Rolex certified watchmaker disassemble a movement and determine if any changes have been made.
