What concerns the lubricants and epilames, I see the following possibilities for 32xx movements. Rolex uses either:
- old lubricants with old epilames or
- old lubricants with new epilames or
- new lubricants with old epilames or
- new lubricants with new epilames.
old: used before the 32xx movements
new: developed for the 32xx movements
Any of these tribology combinations could be either the problem or a potential solution for all the reported 32xx issues.
Tribology is a broad and very complex field in science, not only for watches, and a lot of fundamental research is done worldwide. |
All current lubricants and epilame was in use before the 32 series was introduced.
Formulas could certainly have been changed without notice though.
