I updated the graph now with measurements all the way through 60 hours and the information you requested. Specs are looking alright for me, given what I've seen from the graphs of other watches (amplitude vs time) after 48 hours. Cheers |

Some "Excellent Condition" modern Rolex watches from Dec 2020, May 2021, April 2023.
Doesn't mention the movement number? Trusted Seller … can't go wrong. |

A few months ago I went in to my AD (who is also an RSC) and talked to a sales rep about watches and I showed him a spec of dust under my crystal which got there after their service. It was very quiet in there so he walked to the lead watch maker and asked if he had time to talk to me. Very nice guy and we talked for half an hour and then he asked about the spec of dust. He looked and saw it and said he will remove it right now. I asked if I could join him to the back where he and another watch maker were working. It was fine and he showed me around. He also showed me all the equipment and how they worked on Rolex watches. He showed me my opened watch and movement. I was there for another hour and I asked him about the 32xx movements illness. He indeed confirmed to me that they had a lot 32xx movements with low amplitude come back. He also said that since beginning 2024 it became less. I asked if Rolex communicated anything to them about it and he said that they did not release an official statement about it but they sometimes just bring out new versions of some parts and that then fixes a problem. He could not tell me that it also was the case with the 32xx movements. He only wanted to say that it really is a movement with more warranty needs than older movements. I know, it’s another “I heard from my AD” comment but I thought it could be nice to share. |

is your current watch doing okay in terms of amp when RSC looked at it the other day when you were in? |

He put it brief on the timegrapher and it’s amplitude was little under 300. I think he said something in the 295 range but it’s some time ago. I do remember he said it wasn’t bad at all for a 32xx watch that was running for a full year non stop. He didn’t do a full test in all the positions because it kept time very well and I was there for the spec of dust and a small tour.

High amplitudes, either in dial up or dial down, are a good sign but don't allow a positive conclusion, also not the so often quoted "good timekeeping". The 3 vertical amplitudes, measured after full winding and 24 hours later, are the key figures for all 32xx watches. This AD watchmaker's logic is nonsense for 32xx movements. |

Hello everyone,
I am a new member and I would like to participate in this topic. I have two Rolex, the first an Explorer II "Polar" purchased in August 2024 and the second a SeaDweller purchased in September 2024 (my AD took 29 days to deliver it to me since I registered on the famous "waiting list") I ordered the tool (WeiShi 1900), I am waiting for it to take my measurements. For the moment I have just tested it with the "Watch Accuracy Meter" application (Android) and my Explorer seems really accurate, on the other hand the SeaDweller not at all! I will come back here as soon as I have received the Weishi and taken two measurements (the second after 24 hours) for my two watches. Sorry for my bad English, I do my best |

Welcome Steph!
You've already equipped yourself well with the WeiShi, I can't wait to see your measurements ;) See you |

It's on order, and I can't wait for it to arrive. My Excel spreadsheet is already ready for my future measurements. And if my Sea Dweller is as bad in precision (what the Android app shows me), it will quickly go back to Rolex for adjustments / repair. Of course I'll ask for your opinion here before taking it back to the seller. |

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
Quote:
Do you know the timegrapher measurement procedure? If possible, don't limit your data collection to t = 0 and t = 24 h. Your two new 2024 watches are very interesting for this thread. What are their reference numbers? |

Here are my references: Explorer II - 226570 Sea-Dweller - 126600 What do I have to do in addition to 0H and 24H? I'm supposed to receive my device on September 30th, so no news from me before then, sorry. |

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
Quote:
Ref. 226570 - 3285 Ref. 126600 - 3235 If you want to do something very detailed then measure at t = 0,12,24,36,48,54,57,60 h. Especially interesting (for isochronism study) are some data points between 48 h and 60 h. Periods that must be avoided due to caliber amplitude dips are 23:00 - 01:00 and 05:00 - 08:00. After each 5 position measurement you have to leave the watch untouched on the timegrapher in DU (dial up) position. To achieve full winding the 32xx calibers need 35-40 full crown turns, 360 degrees each. I measured that for 6 watches and presented the results in this thread, see post #1704 (5 July 2021). No movement damage if you wind (much) more. Post #5002 (by CharlesN) describes the timegrapher procedure to follow in order to achieve comparable data in this thread. |
