For your 32xx watches, my opinion is as follows:
Neither the 3235 nor the 3285 have optimal amplitude values
* after full winding:
*Optimal amplitudes after full winding (t = 0) are DU-DD: 260°-280°; 9U-6U-3U: 230°-240°
Both calibers are above the 200° minimum amplitude tolerance after 24 hours.
Both watches are within the advertised -2/+2 sec/day after full winding.
Based on these two simple facts, I see no justifiable reason for a complaint.
As one can see from your numbers and (my) graphs, the timekeeping is very similar and very good during the first 24 hours, look at the graph below: the Explorer II (3285) is excellent throughout the power reserve, while the Sea-Dweller (3235) loses more time between 24 and 60 hours.
My conclusion is that you should keep an eye on both watches, especially the Sea-Dweller.
