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.
