I do agree Rolex will fix this and we will know about it but surely there is a fix in 2021? The decision for me to keep buying was based on them putting the movements into their most iconic bread and butter sub. I figured Rolex in 2020 surely won’t risk their subs being reported as having issues when they’ve known about the problem since 2016…. At this point I want to create that Star Wars meme with the girl asking “you’ve fixed the movement right?” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
Oh I don’t know continued reporting of issues. People buying off the grey market and getting issues. People then not buying off the grey market for watches made in a certain period. People like me selling problem watches to grey dealers because I don’t want any part of it and then the buyer immediately having a terrible experience with the watch they paid a premium for? People realising Rolex put out a sub par movement for 7 years? Like you don’t think this could affect them because they are Rolex and Swiss? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Keep in mind that Rolex couldn't have realised there was a problem until well after introduction as it took time for it to emerge and it takes even longer for a trend to be established which they can act upon. And yes, it's taking an extra long time than anybody imagined to rectify. As our esteemed watchmaker friend has intimated. There are a good number of watchmakers who are scratching their heads over this. Regardless, they get paid the same amount to rectify these things under warranty or not and in accordance with the mothership's directives. As you note, it ultimately comes down to who pays. Besides your warranty is already paid for up front at the time of purchase. So you can sleep soundly in the knowledge that all the warranties which I have paid for up front over the years and never claimed on has subsidised yours numerous times over. So I hope you will be able to qualify for some goodwill on the part of Rolex should it eventuate that this issue is "prepetual". After all Rolex is known for goodwill gestures and they aren't unreasonable in general. In Rolex we trust ![]() |

The beauty of the current situation is that if I detect issues with my two 3230 watches I can get out of it and actually make money...
I do not want to do this I love the yellow OP36 and the new Exp 1 but yeah... not going to put up with this. |

Which leads me to this next point, is the watch tracking app you refer to the one that cost 4.99? Ridiculous that I feel the need to track the timing of my new Rolex watch and buy some silly app and waste time checking to see how bad it’s getting. Reality is most today don’t care about this, as most buy to flip or just hold for investment but if you’re a wis and like me who began loving watches for their reliability, design, history and quality, Rolex is producing an inferior product. Nothing can make you stop loving something more than pita petty stuff that keeps popping up annoying you repeatedly. |

-2s per day when worn might mean the watch is 0s per day when left stationary dial up but just that you're moving around a bit slows your timing down. -2 per day if consistent is 100% okay. As for paying for an app to track time. You need to remember some of us enjoy watches for the technical aspect. The people that comment on this thread are watch nerds. I spent 150 dollars on a timegrapher. To you that's insane for me it's fine as it's a hobby and 150 is literally nothing to me. Now to your point, you shouldn't need to do this for a Rolex I 100% agree. To be honest you don't, just compare your time once a week to a trusted time source like your phone or PC. If on average it's doing something bad at least you know. I won't be buying 3255, 3235 and 3285 movements until Bas lets us know there is a proper fix. I have purchased two 3230 as it's their last iteration and trusting that it's fixed. If it's not I sell and make money it's no loss really. |

You wrote several times in this thread that you don't own one single 32xx watch. Consequently, you have neither personal experience nor any data to deliver. Contribution wise you are currently on position #3 in this tread! 99 text posts out of 1631 contributions, which is 6%. |

I appreciate the help.
I wasn't attacking you to be clear. My frustration was toward the watch. I was sincere in asking about the app, I looked up the one you recommended but a few came up so I was trying to get confirmation for the correct one. The only thing directed at you in my post was the part asking about the price of the app. Everything else is for Rolex. Hope that clears things up. ![]() |

![]() The Deepsea is my all time favorite watch and the D-Blue dial is amazing to me. I should have just bought the previous gen but the upgrades to the bracelet and fit are much better to me in the new reference, I've owned both generations and I'm now deciding between buying a black Deepsea in the old gen or a SD43. This is pushing me toward the 116660 even though I really love the red text on the SD43. |

![]() Just keep in mind I don't multi quote so are you factoring that into your rankings? Now to the real issues. Who is in first place and who is in second place and what are the relevant stats for all contributors? Looks like i better get my finger out then as there is some serious competition going on here ![]() This is going to be better than the Olympic games and we've got that social distancing thing already covered ![]() |

![]() There you go again with belittling behavior. Anyway, I shall leave it up to those more qualified to keep score of the rankings. Besides, as you may be aware by now that when it comes to this type of thing, it serves me when and how i see fit and I don't alow it to control me or influence my enjoyment of watch collecting. Except to say this thread has been invaluable to me in that it has helped me to make informed decisions as to what movements to stay away from if I'm to continue to enjoy my Rolex watches and not get caught with potential duds ![]() |

The "More Qualified" as you put it is the website itself. Not a person. It automatically shows the posters and their "Ranking" for each thread. It is part of the built in Forum software fo all to go and see. It is just One click away. I am delighted that this thread has helped you make a decision. It goes to show and prove that this thread is valuable to all manner of people.

This thread has been and is still interesting to me as I have a DJ41 3235, it’s been sent back to RSC 3 weeks ago as a direct reason to what’s been stated in this thread, that there is a problem with the movement..I’ve posted all my info and readings earlier in the thread and hopefully soon will be able to give updated readings when it’s back from its service.
I used a Weishi 1900 which is great, I’ve also now got the WatchTracker app which is great too, it’s terrific as I’m using that for on the wrist real life timings as compared to the static measurements. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

32xx movement problem poll and data thread
There is nothing to say here. Charles just now made me "excited" with new amplitude data.
I can't stop his enthusiasm and Charles donated me two new pens for my timegrapher. The old one was worn out ![]() ![]() |
