There looks to be a little more gold in the 32xx movement if that’s your thing ... otherwise it’s a toss up for me.

the one thing you will 99% almost never see in your watch. It could look butt ugly and I wouldn't care as long as it runs according to spec.

They both look like crap but one is a beast in performance the other would be a recalled class action nightmare if it were the car industry.
So I agree with post three, in this case I prefer the 3135, equally craptacular in appearance but actually and literally "superlative" in performance.

I recall reading on this forum that a watchmaker thought the 3235 had some inherent weaknesses relative to the 3135. Hopefully this is not true.
