Why should a movement deteriorate drastically after running to about 83% (58/70) of its power reserve? |

Maybe a gentle interrogation of the RSC when this Submariner is being picked from service will prove helpful. |

For science's sake, I just tossed it on the 1900 and let it sit for 10 minutes. It is about +24 hours from when I put it down yesterday in drawer. Current DU reading is better but still far off my +24 test reading. -21 to -28 s/d, Amp 162, BE 4.9. Quote:

Very interesting thread. I did not read through each one of the hundreds of messages, but get the gist of the issue.
Thus I am looking for some advice: I am looking to get a pre-owned 226659 (Yacht Master 42, white Gold, oysterflex strap), there are plenty out there for prices that are decent, typically around 25% below new retail price. It has the 3235 movement, which now makes me "suspicious". Any idea which production years I should avoid to have issues? For instnace, a watch produced in 2023 or 2024 would still risk to have the issue discussed in this thread? Any other tips how I could avoid finding myself with a watch that has this kind of problem? Thanks, Chris |

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum and this thread.
Basically, ALL 32xx movements have the problem. It does not matter which version of the 32xx caliber it is and there still does not seem to be a "Fix" as even new watches are measured by some and older ones that have gone in for a service or repair come back behaving well for a short period of time before going "sick" again. Personally, I had quite a few 32xx equipped watches ... I have sold them all on as they were just not as they should be. I only have Rolex watches with older movements now. So , In simple terms .. I would not buy any watch with a 32xx movement.

Adding my input
Had modern GMT (2021) go bad and now my sub (2020) is losing 2+ seconds per minute. Both still under warranty. If they try to charge me for repairs after warranty I will contemplate organizing a class action lawsuit. Any one have experience with having this fixed post warranty?

Nonsense. Rolex will not "try" but certainly will charge you and you will have to pay. I'd love to read more about this if you ever file a class action lawsuit. |

I appreciate all of the advice received here and certainly appreciate the use of a timeographer. It will come back, I will measure and I am sure it will run fantastically for a while. And some point I will decide whether I want an old kermit or keep the new one. |

Yes. Completely broken. Likely an under estimate.

I wouldn't touch a 32xx movement. One of the main reasons I wanted a Rolex was reliability. My 31xx sub is still +~2 spd 5+ years after service. It would drive me nuts if my expensive watch kept shit time. I don't know that a Class action lawsuit would go anywhere. Rolex isn't in the USA even. And luxury watches are unlikely to garner the sympathy of... anyone. Except maybe regarding their +2-2 claims. But luxury cars are notoriously awful after warranty and nothing happens there. NO ONE wants a used Bentley. |
