The GMT running slow problem (again)
In my previous post I mentioned that my Rootbeer was running slow. The general suggestion was to turn it in for repair, and so I did. They said that the movement in the early years of the model was not enough oiled, and thats why after a while friction goes up and amplitude down. Makes sense to me - have you heard this?

The 32xx issue is more fundamental than the lack of lubrication in earlier models.

I was under the general impression the "flaw" was corrected with service, Rolex has known about this for many years at this point.
My early 2021 model started at 0 spd, then last couple years at -1 spd, last month -6spd and getting worse. Frustrating, but under warranty so it will go in. Worn every day, day and night. If this turns out to be a watch that requires service every 3-4 years I will be very disappointed. Family members have 31xx that run well after 10+ years. |

I’ve always been curious how they fixed the “flaw.” I’ve been close to pulling the trigger on a newer movement Rolex, but this is always what holds me back. |

Well with the millions of 32 movements now in service and Rolex sells around 800000 every year and Rolex can sell everyone they make. Afraid worring over a few seconds that might or might not happen it don't seem worry most unless you have the deadly [CCTTESS] constant checking time to exact second syndrome.

Some folks have reported that their 32XX movement began running slow again after service, so Rolex may not have identified and implemented a permanent fix yet.
