I’m very happy with the results, so following the service about a month ago, all seems well with my watch.

Well the numbers seem quite good. Caliber 3230, correct?

Is this normal for the precision to drop off drastically around the end of pr, or is this a potential 3235 movt. problem? (i don't have the timing device, so can't say for sure.)

35 minutes is way too much. I quote HiBoost and think it should be checked on a machine to see the performance. Just to be sure before bring it on a timegrapher, I'll do the test again to see if there's some sort of consistency with the numbers.

Exactly, and you'd be the first to notice it. If it was a flaw in the escapement or on the material as we speculated, it will definetly show on these 2 as well.

We have the same watch and I saw some people having the same issue but it's less widespread with 3230s calibers. That is what I noticed by asking Rolex watchmakers. Your watch is being worn everyday?
