What concerns the lubricants and epilames, I see the following possibilities for 32xx movements. Rolex uses either:

-        old lubricants with old epilames or
-        old lubricants with new epilames or
-        new lubricants with old epilames or
-        new lubricants with new epilames.

old: used before the 32xx movements
new: developed for the 32xx movements

Any of these tribology combinations could be either the problem or a potential solution for all the reported 32xx issues.

Tribology is a broad and very complex field in science, not only for watches, and a lot of fundamental research is done worldwide.

All current lubricants and epilame was in use before the 32 series was introduced.
Formulas could certainly have been changed without notice though.
