Simple answer: avoid all 32xx watches, either choose a previous generation 5-digit Rolex with a reliable movement or change the watch brand.

These movements have been around 10 years. If a company with the expertise and resources of Rolex can't come up with a permanent fix all these years later, the movement is just a dud.

I've been saying variations of the following for a while. Rolex will eventually introduce a 33xx that will hopefully work out all these issues. They may come up with some way to service/regulate the 32xx watches that come in so that they run as long as possible without encountering the amplitude issue (maybe by sacrificing accuracy outside their 2s standard) as a "fix", and Rolex and everyone will move on.

Would six series Rolex watches with the 31XX movements be ok?

I have had a few 31xx watches and still have one 31xx equipped Rolex (ExpII).
It has none of the problems found in the 32xx watches. None of my 31xx watches had a problem.

I have had a few 32xx watches and they were all problematic. They are long gone from my collection.

I'm in the same boat...I sold the BLRO and now only have 31XX movement models and previous model Daytonas that all perform as expected without any issues. I would not buy another 32XX movement watch.
