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.

Many, many thanks for your analysis and your very clear conclusion ... which reassures me.
I must confess that I still don't quite understand all the figures I've come across. But in any case, I'm going to follow the information here to better understand and learn!
I'm going to treasure your conclusion graph
I'm going to take a “break” for a few months and redo these same tests (of course I'll come here to show them off!).
THANK YOU again!
