Rolex owners: any problems with 32** movements?
I got the call and my Explorer is at my AD. I'll pick it up in a few weeks. It's a 124270 with the 3230 movement.
I am getting the watch. That's not in question at all. I have seen reports of problems with some 32** movements, specifically drops in amplitude that can affect accuracy. I want to ask if anyone with a 32** movement Rolex is having any problems. TBH, I'm wondering how much of this is just shouting in an echo chamber. I also don't know how much of the complaining from trolls stirring things up on the forums. I mean, if there really was a problem wouldn't people who hate Rolex shout it from the rooftops?
TLDR: I'm finally getting my Rolex but have seen some reports of problems with 32** movements. I figured I'd ask my fellow Crunchers to see if anyone was experiencing problems.
Just your average watch obsessed lesbian, really. Learning more about watches and my tastes every day.
Sip the bubbly Champagne when you go to pick it up, and enjoy the watch the cool new watch. Don’t listen to anybody, remember you have warranty.

They keep offering me booze when I go to the AD. Maybe when I pick up my Explorer I'll take them up on the offer. 😀
I have 3 with 32XX movements and don’t have issues with any of them. One is going on 4 yrs with no problems.
I’m not super familiar with the components in the movement, but is it possible that they are getting magnetized? If so that’s a pretty simple fix
No issues to date with 3230's and 3235's, not with s +/-, beat errors etc. but I do note they run at a low amplitude straight off the bat (using time-grapher and at the right lift angles) than say their Tudor cousins.
Time will tell.
