You should try again to post a picture here of your results. Then you can get some analasis

Exactly ;)
Here are my results. I indicated to the machine the settings indicated by SwissSteph: Lift Angle: 53°, Period: 60s and Rate Range +-99.9s/d. I then alternated every twelve hours for the first 60 hours, then more closely up to 71 hours the DU / 6U / 9U / 3U / DD positions. The watch remained on the Weishi support in the DD position between two measurements. It stopped almost immediately after 75h15 of running. My watch is a DateJust 126200 purchased in July 2024. I will try to make the same beautiful curves as presented by the other people before me but I am not very good at Excel. What do you think of these results? |

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
A few things I observe:
(1) all rates along the complete power reserve are negative. This new 3235 is not well regulated (t = 0). (2) the amplitudes look fine except that there is a large difference between DU and DD. (3) the beat errors are quite high. (4) I am astonished that you were able to measure after 65, 67, and 71 hours and that your 32xx watch ran until 75 hours. I haven't seen such a combination (1-4) of data for any 32xx caliber. |

Had access to some family watches this weekend including a 10 year old non-serviced 3135 (daily driver) running about -1spd on wrist. Timeographer numbers fully wound +0 were fine; amplitude was a little low for 31xx 260s dial up. Another watch (DJ 31 from ~2012) was fantastic on timeographer but had just been serviced 1 year ago. |

I am having trouble finding detailed information on the "new" small movements. Have done a little googling but watchbase and watch wiki aren't particularly helpful for my questions. I did a search and obviously these being smaller, "ladies" watches, there is substantially less discussion about them.
1. Is there a large technical difference between 2230/2235 and 2232/2236? Clearly power reserve was bumped to 55 hours. Is the new 2232/2236 simply upgrades of the 'old school' small movements or major changes like going from 3130/3135 to 3230/3235? I found this link: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=904616 Which suggests they are very similar to 2230/2235...which is a good thing in my book. 2. The real question is has anyone had similar 32xx sickness on the 2232/2236 or heard of issues? @atxwatch How did your repair go? Any issues since you originally posted about your OP? |

Not sure about Q1, but for Q2 I don't think the 22xx movements utilise the chronergy escapement found in the 32xx movements so that is a positive if you are concerned about the issues reported on the 32xx.

Some interesting comments in the thread about silicon usage, seems like many lower and higher horology movements are shifting to this material. A few comments on shock-resistance as well. On a positive note, my watch was received at RSC Dallas and a service "Confirmation" was issued within one business day. Standard RSC verbiage many are familiar with listed. I had noted amplitude but not mentioned on confirmation sheet. Watch runs slow certainly seems to be the common terminology used Customer requests: "Watch runs slow". Necessary works and optional works approved: "Check movement". Due date: "Approximately 2 weeks" Another data point for future readers. My service reference number was 315XXX_003. My reference number for "Debris on date wheel" warranty claim in Aug 2021 was 66XXX_002. |

Just a (potentially) meaningless data point. Figured most of us in here are numbers nerds. |

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
Yes, but not all.
Some prominent internet warriors take every opportunity to mock any accuracy discussion and timegrapher users. They act like arsonists to dismiss any technical 32xx discussion. Anyway, poor social media souls who will not succeed. Just my opinion! To all (new) readers: post your questions and share new data, especially from new 32xx watches, bought in 2024. It will help both, "newcomers" and technically interested people. I mainly continue in this thread to help others. |
