Incorrect.

I fully agree.

That's right, the 3235 and subsequent models (3255, 3285, 3230) were also hailed to be fantastic by Rolex kool-aid drinking journalists. Very detailed 7135 articles, published on the day (01.04.2025) of the Land-Dweller's launch, were most likely written well in advance by Rolex SA.

The max. and min. amplitudes are not so interesting, but whether the 7135 can be measured with a standard timegrapher, or whether a special instrument is required, as is the case with the Omega co-axial movements, and what the 7135's lift angle is.
