I updated the graph now with measurements all the way through 60 hours and the information you requested. Specs are looking alright for me, given what I've seen from the graphs of other watches (amplitude vs time) after 48 hours. Cheers |

A few months ago I went in to my AD (who is also an RSC) and talked to a sales rep about watches and I showed him a spec of dust under my crystal which got there after their service. It was very quiet in there so he walked to the lead watch maker and asked if he had time to talk to me. Very nice guy and we talked for half an hour and then he asked about the spec of dust. He looked and saw it and said he will remove it right now. I asked if I could join him to the back where he and another watch maker were working. It was fine and he showed me around. He also showed me all the equipment and how they worked on Rolex watches. He showed me my opened watch and movement. I was there for another hour and I asked him about the 32xx movements illness. He indeed confirmed to me that they had a lot 32xx movements with low amplitude come back. He also said that since beginning 2024 it became less. I asked if Rolex communicated anything to them about it and he said that they did not release an official statement about it but they sometimes just bring out new versions of some parts and that then fixes a problem. He could not tell me that it also was the case with the 32xx movements. He only wanted to say that it really is a movement with more warranty needs than older movements. I know, it’s another “I heard from my AD” comment but I thought it could be nice to share. |

is your current watch doing okay in terms of amp when RSC looked at it the other day when you were in? |

He put it brief on the timegrapher and it’s amplitude was little under 300. I think he said something in the 295 range but it’s some time ago. I do remember he said it wasn’t bad at all for a 32xx watch that was running for a full year non stop. He didn’t do a full test in all the positions because it kept time very well and I was there for the spec of dust and a small tour.

High amplitudes, either in dial up or dial down, are a good sign but don't allow a positive conclusion, also not the so often quoted "good timekeeping". The 3 vertical amplitudes, measured after full winding and 24 hours later, are the key figures for all 32xx watches. This AD watchmaker's logic is nonsense for 32xx movements. |
