Value for 32xx on time-graphs…

[Tallbark]

Quick question. I just bought a timeograph. What would be the right lift angle to put in, and what should be the amplitude on a problem free 32xx movement (about?)

Thanks

Lift angle is 53. Here's the whole rabbit hole: www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=786299

So above 200 is ok-ish?

After a full wind? I'd hope for closer to 300. But I only have a passing interest in this issue. Ask the guys in that thread, they'll get back to you quite promptly.

So, this is my 2022 SUB ND. Not 300 - but still ok?

Edit - amp is 284 now.

Looks ok but there's various things to consider like time since full wind, measuring position, etc. If that's after a full wind and dial up, I guess it's ok for a 32xx.

Thanks - yes. Full wind and dial up

All good then. I'd check it again after 24 hours and 48 hours (off the wrist of course) and see those numbers. But again, the main thread linked to above will have better info than me.

Well now your problems will start afraid timegraphers can and often will be a new Rolex owners worst enemy.Just wear and enjoy wearing your watch in good health now that's far more important than constant measurements on these machine timegraphers.

Yes, agree. I just don’t have the energy to go through all of these threads. But in general - after 12/24 hours you should expect a lower amplitude - yes?

It can be part of the hobby for some.

I’m surprised they haven’t seen and commented here already

For some yes thank god I am not one of them in well over 50 years of owning and wearing Rolex watches from the 10,12,15,30,31,and 32 series movements .Never felt the need to check or use timegrapers or timing apps,thank god my life was never ran to the exact daily second.

You don’t necessarily have to go through the entire thread, but there is a great deal of info, and noise too, in that thread. Sure enough, as mentioned above post up in that thread and you will get answers.

Yes, the amplitude will drop over time. The amplitude will also be different from a horizontal to a vertical position.

I find it interesting and have learned a ton since wandering into those woods.

To me it is no more or less a part of the hobby/interest than threads about finish and interior angles.

It’s really just one definitive thread.

No time to read a thread that has the info you need? And discussion around the details, specs and nuances of testing.

No, sorry. I ment that there are so many threads discussing the 32xx-issue. I just wanted to know what values a healthy movement should have.

Yours seems fine, these run lower than the 31xx whose full wind amplitudes (not sure if it was average of positions or dial up) should be 280-310.

Check other positions (there are 5 total). I'd expect amplitude to be highest in Dial up and maybe dial down. Watch needs to settle say 15 minutes before first measurement. See post #5002 on the big movement thread.

The real measure (IMO) is timekeeping on your wrist. I, like most owners, only started down the timeographer rabbit hole when my timekeeping fell off. Watch was suddenly running quite slow and out of spec. Checked the movement thread, bought timeographer and sent it in. I will re-run timeographer when I get it back as a baseline comparison.

You have 5 years don't stress about it, but keep an eye out.
