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? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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.

Explorer 1 Observations
I have an Explorer 1 new as of 8/2024. I put it on my timegrapher and dial up indicates 0.0 s/d with an amplitude of 285 beat error 0.0 after a full wind. On the wrist for 12 hours per day and resting dial up for 12 hours per day I have lost 20 seconds in 27 days or .74 seconds per day. Honestly if that remains constant I would be impressed with its performance.

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
Quote:
What are the amplitudes and rates for the other 4 positions (3U, 6U, 9U, DD)? It has been reported many times that good timekeeping does not exclude the too low amplitude issue of all 32xx movements, especially in the vertical positions. I suggest to measure all 5 positions after full winding (t = 0) and after t = 24. Once done, "forget" the timegrapher, enjoy the watch, and repeat the measurements in 6 months ;-) |
