I did have to return it to my AD's authorized Rolex service center to be regulated (Beverly Hills) about 2 months after purchase due to sudden, inconsistent accuracy (+/- 30 to 40 sec per day). It was fixed and runs great now. |

Yes it was introduced at Basel 2015 but is was not till the latter part of 2015 it was on public sale. Plus the fact that most of these so called problems were not reported till a few months or even year plus later, and we are in the beginning of 2021 so still not 7 years.

Update: My 126610 was set 17 days ago and is now 26 seconds slow. By my incredible math skills, that is....
Minus 1.5 seconds a day. I wear it pretty much 24-7. I am happy with that. ![]() |

32xx movement problem poll and data thread

Thanks! Happiness is most important. Full winding at the start? Winding again during the 27 days? Your 24-7 means what? Wearing always the same watch (24 hours, 7 days) and put it during nights at rest? Cheers. |

I'm a bit confused about how to do the test and how to report the data. I will say that I've tried fully winding my DJ36 and leaving it alone until the watch stops and checking the time roughly every 24 hours.
My watch seems to be about dead on (maybe loses 0.5s at most?) after 24 hours. Loses slightly less than a full second (but enough to notice it is losing a bit of time) after 48 hours. If I check it about 20 hours after that before the PR runs out, it's lost a lot of time. Maybe 6-7 seconds. This is dial up, and I've had the watch about 2 months. |

Thanks for your description! Just write your result in a simple table, see post #11 and #276. Check as often as you can, not only once per day.

![]() ![]() Full wind 72 hours. The last reading was 15 minutes before the PR ran out so its kind of out there, i omitted this from the graph cause it would skew things quite a bit. Last edited by Fenix84; 28 January 2021 at 01:53 PM.. Reason: Added Graph |

Last night was the end of the power reserve period for my BLRO, and I thought to compare the time with the iPhone stopwatch. The watch lost a second in 3 minutes! I wound it up and it was immediately back to “normal”
Just for interest, the Breitling 806 was still bang on time.

I wear it at night, the only time I really take it off is when I am at the gym or doing some work that might damage it.

Rates, Amplitudes, Power Reserve of 3235 and 3285 calibers
The figure below displays a collection of measurements for three different watches, performed in 2019 and 2020. ![]() Sea-Dweller Ref. 126600, caliber 3235, purchased in 2017. GMT-Master II Ref. 126711 CHNR, caliber 3285, purchased in 2018. GMT-Master II Ref. 126710 BLRO, caliber 3285, unworn, purchased in 2018. Data were taken after full caliber winding, also up to 26 h, which corresponds to only 37 % of the claimed 70 h power reserve. Watches remained at rest. A clear correlation between rates and amplitudes is observed. Conclusion: Amplitudes down to only 150 degrees with rates of -35 s/d were measured. Many data points are < 200 degrees amplitude, which is the minimum acceptable value 24 hours after full winding. |

Following the methodology from post #97 (no timegrapher), please find my latest data below, comparing time against the atomic clock using WatchCheck app (plotted on a spreadhseet). Dial up position only. More data to follow in CU, CD, DD, 12up, 6up positions.
I have to mention that the watch has not been worn, it's essentially a safequeen. I have been monitoring its accuracy since 2017 so I did quite a few manual winds (about 60). The watch was between +1 and +2 s/d at the beginning but I no longer have the data. SD43 126600 bought in May 2017 (3235 movement) |

There is a big difference in checking for accuracy, than turning checking accuracy into a obsession .And I wonder how many of the 67 members reported in this thread like the poll states was because there watches timekeeping is off by (>5 s/d).As there could many other reasons there watches could be out by a few seconds to this new Rolex testing spec. And yes there could be is a slight problem with some 32 series movements, much like they have been with the Cal 3035, Cal3135, Cal 3186 plus a few others over the years.

My 126719BLRO is a great watch but progressively lost rate in the course of 6 months ownership to the level of -10sec/d. So it went back to Geneva for service.

Its not about obsession,its about very practical convenience . Quite frankly,that's what I expect from Rolex at the asking price and from their decades of quality design,manufacture and control . |

Just like if you have a car that drives and stops fine for 18 months, and then the next day it suddenly refuses to brake like it did. If that happened to your car, and then you found that a number of other people had the same issue that was consistently not fixed by the manufacturer, you may be a little annoyed. Not sure why a few people here can't grasp that.... |
