Sub41 accuracy issues?

I have not seen anybody mention it yet, but curious if there has been any of the accuracy issues that were pretty common for the new movement in the SD43. My 43 started off dead accurate and then eventually began to lose a minute per day.

Mine is the most accurate automatic watch I’ve ever owned. -1/2 second a day whether on winder, wrist, or table

A minute per day? That’s definitely not normal! Imagine RSC solved that issue for you?

Mine is super accurate as well. About 1 second per day tops.

I agree with OliverTwist - out of all the Rolex I have owned, this one is spot on - second to the Day-Date. I think I am about +1 second every three days.

Picked up my 126610 Sub in September and it’s the most accurate Rolex I’ve ever owned. Averaging 1 second a day accuracy.

The slowing down issue is been reported and documented in a separated thread on this forum. It's not SD43 related but rather 32xx movement related.

I sincerely hope you new Submariner owners continue to have no accuracy problems. That would indicate Rolex has resolved the time loss issue so many 32XX movement owners have experienced. A look under the hood by a CW21 could answer that question but so far that has not happened nor been reported.

Nope. My sub41 is still dead on balls accurate so far.

Two months in on my new Cermit...i've only set the time once on the day I got it and as of today it's 2 seconds fast. Epic!

My sub 41 is a very consistent -1.3 seconds a day, I’m fine with that.

For the 32xx caliber the lift angle is 53 degrees, not 52.
This will slightly increase your measured amplitudes.

My 126613LB has been very accurate so far but it has very low amplitude. Mine does 184 degrees 24 hours after full wind, 200 is supposed to be the minimum in this test. I'm around 200 after only 12 hours. I would love to hear from other new Sub owners how their amplitude looks. We shall see if mine is able to hold its timekeeping for the long term (I've only owned it for 30 days) or if the cause of the low amplitude ends up manifesting the timing issue as well.

There is a another thread in this same forum where we are attempting to track and quantify the behavior: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=786299

I've read 52, 53 and 55 in the last 3 days. Sounds like 53 has been confirmed? So yes, around 267 deg amplitude.

My 124060 is the most accurate watch I’ve ever had. It’s running at approximately +1 sec every two weeks over the past 4.5 months.

55 degrees was communicated after release of the 32xx series, changed to 53 degrees.
In your case this results in +20 degrees amplitude for DU, not negligible

Great! Continue to monitor (from time to time only) and ENJOY!

I've only lost 10 seconds over the period of a month. Pretty accurate on my end.

Yes these posts about how specific Rolex movements (typically new and sometimes by those validating older movements) are suddenly terrible one specific week are funny to watch. Haven’t these movements been out for years and millions of watches already. They just popped it in another case

Yes, not excluded, then watches sold in 2019/20/21 would also get movement issues, only a question of time and if one wants to acknowledge or not.
