They were surprised, never heard. And maybe two months ago I visited another shop with watches ( the same company, different location) and employees know this problem. One of them told me even, that Rolex with cal, 32xx is only an ornament not a proper watch. A lot of people complains.
Prices of Rolex ( gray market offcours ) are still very high, but maybe it just seem to me, that stop to grow up.
When the bubble burst, some gray market dealers will have a huge problem with selling watches with defective caliber.

That’s called “we need to sell a our other brands by trash talking the only brand that sells itself” sales strategy.
That said, it’s not surprising they haven’t heard of any Rolex movement issues. This forum is a concentration of owners and not a direct reflection of the mainstream Rolex buyers/owners so % of owners with reporting issues is very high here. Rolex owners come here for solutions to their issues. The original poll shows there is some issues out there but not as mainstream and widespread considering how long the 32 series has been produced. Equate this to why the a dealers Porsche Service Dept is hearing nothing but issues with customer cars. People go there for that reason.
