32xx movement problem poll and data thread

I was observing this watch wishing the issue won't develop but unfortunately now it's running around -2,5s per day. I have an impression that a lot of movements may be affected by this 'disease' and it's only a matter of when it's going to manifest itself (2 years in my case). The worst part of this is the fact there is no permanent fix for this, so I will probably end up sending my watch to RSC every year. Frustrating Now just waiting for my BLNR to show the symptoms too.

If the 2 TechXpert watchmakers, both posting on TRF, don't know about a 'permanent' fix, it does not mean there is no 'permanent' fix found and applied by Rolex SA.

Btw, there is nothing 'permanent' with a mechanical movement.

Call it long term fix if you prefer, we know what we're talking about here, a fix that doesn't require bringing your watch back to the RSC every year or so. A fix where there's no unexpected wear on a part (seconds hand axle). Something that will last 5 to 10 years until the next service, as we've been used to with Rolex.

This. Especially that Rolex itself recommends servicing intervals of 10 years.

That’s a great news. I really hope it stays like this and everyone with the affected watch can finally get it sorted.
