My 3235 movement started slowing down, and was at -3 sec/day being 4,5 years old (Bought December 2019). I purchased a timegrapher to check my watches, and discovered that the mentioned 3235 had an average amplitude in the 220s. I brought the watch to the AD where I purchased it, and they confirmed it was outside Rolex tolerances, and they are now servicing it for free as it is within the 5 year warranty. It will be interesting to see how it keeps time after the service, and whether they give a new "guarantee" on the service beyond the original 5 year warranty.. I will certainly ask

My friend works for Rolex as a watchmaker. The issue is real. It stems from too much lubricant used coming out of the factory. The tolerances for the new movement are extremely sensitive to over or under lubrication. My Pepsi had this issue. They serviced it and properly lubricated the movement and its been fine since.

I was very close to picking up an Explorer 124270 until I heard about these issues with the new movement. Now I'm looking mainly at Explorers with the older 114270 ref. If I'm going to be spending some serious cheese then its got to be perfect. There seems to be enough credibility in these 32xx issues that I'm now looking for older models.

I think it's wise to be prudent at this time.

More people need to talk about this. Rolex AD don’t like to talk about this problem. They pretend they’ve never heard of this even though there are more than 165 pages on the Rolex forum talking about this 32xx bug.

I searched for this video as I’ve just bought a new Explorer 2 and it is running 6 seconds slow per day. I also own a 4 year old Datejust 41 which I took in for service earlier this year as it was running 8 seconds a day slow. It was deadly accurate when I bought it but it deteriorated. Very unhappy with the new Explorer 2 I’ll see how it goes for a few months but it will be going back also. My two 31 series Rolex watches are running within 2 secs per day and they are older watches. My two Tudor watches also perform much better. There is clearly a problem with 32 series movements in my personal experience, I think collectors will be coveting the 31 series watches in the future as they are rock solid.

This is very good information especially for me a first time Rolex Buyer... thank you!

Very good content , it might be smart to wait befor buying one , that could burst the bubble pretty hard ..

I've just serviced my first 3235 . I sourced a new barrell and mainspring assembly , as I read they can't be serviced? And low and behold the amplitude was down on what I would normally expect after a full service?I thought it was just me! I tried balance end shake adjustment, but not much improvement over pre service readings. Well that's progress I suppose.

Very clear and concise summary of the situation 👌. I have two 32xx based watches. One is running slow (-6 s/d on average after a full wind) and has low amplitude (below 200º after 24h in all vertical positions) despite being unworn (safequeen for now). The other is within specs so far and is worn frequently since 2020. For comparison, I have a 31xx based watch running flawlessly since 2015. I wish Rolex had made different design decisions with their chronergy escapement (twin barrel vs. single barrel with low torque mainspring, not reduce the contact surfaces on pallet as it makes it for fragile, for example). Rolex need to come up with a permanent fix or redesign. To me it's a desing flaw. People are going back to the Rolex service centers on multiple occasions for the same watch in a short period of time. This is totally unaceptable.

Rolex refuses to publicly acknowledge an issue that they appear unable to fix after after the 32xx has been on the market for 7 years.

I had this issue. I took my 5 month old date just 36 to Rolex. The kept it for 3 weeks and told me that it just needed lubrication. I found that suspicious since the watch is so new. They told me it could be because you don’t know how long to watch was sitting. Still a very strange answer. When I got the watch back, it was hard to know what they have actually done to it. I suggested that perhaps I had bought a lemon. That didn’t go over well with them. I am certainly hoping that I do not have a lifetime of repair shop with this watch. Rolex needs to do something decisive.

I buy a rolex oyster perpetual airking 34mm in 2011,i notice he loose 15 seconds per day,i send it to rolex service because he was warranty,they send me back the watche 3 weeks later,the acuracy was great but few weeks later i become to hear some curious noise into the watche,just like if something was moving,i decide to leave it to other watchmaker independant for see what happens,so they tell before opening the watch that rolex service do it at proposite because they dont like to repait free a watche and want to see it come back paying the repairs...so they fix the problem and the watche is perfect since this moment,but i am sure that i will never send my rolex to rolex service sabotage

Grand Seiko 9SA5 calibre owners are also reporting accuracy issues. These are related to the newer high-beat movements. The simple answer probably lies in The Practical Watch Escapement by George Daniels. Audemars Piguet had a similar issue many years ago with a new escapement. Note, If Rolex is truly having this issue, there is no quick fix.

Sent my new 41mm Sub (from 2021) in about 5 weeks ago for this very issue. I'm a bit of an accuracy nut, but the Sub was losing noticeable time as my daily wear (somewhere around 3+ seconds a day). Hopefully it comes back in good shape.

I dont own any Rolex watch but I was considering ordering the titanium Yachtmaster… then checked about this issue to see if it had been resolved, which is not the case. This rather old issue with the 32XX makes me hesitant as I would buy the watch to wear and not as a financial investment but rather a pleasure investment like all of my other watches. I read the forums and it seems that it is a rather widespread issue. Now, I believe that most people will not check the watch timekeeping that much and even less the balance wheel amplitude. This may explain why complains have not reached huge proportions together with the fact that many people would simply say to the ones complaining: “if you want a more accurate watch then switch to quartz or a smart watch”, conveniently ignoring the +/- 2 seconds per day specification which is meant to be held for at least 5 years which is the period of guarantee…

There is no evidence of the 22xx movements having this problem. They have a different architecture.

When did Rolex ever make a watch that maintained a high level of accuracy for any amount of time after servicing? If we took a hundred Rolex Submariners that were serviced last year to the +-2 seconds I’d say 85-90% would’ve long been out of spec. I’ve owned them since the 90’s and I set mine every few weeks out of habit. It’s not just the new ones either. Over the past several years people have been buying Rolex’s with some preconceived misconceptions about them. I suppose it’s their marketing department who’s to blame for this. However if it gets people to bring in their watches every year for a $800 annual service it’ll benefit Rolex and their authorized service centers. Whatever you do don’t let the salesman talk you into buying another one because it’ll do it too. Just get in the habit of setting it every few weeks. When it gets worn out looking after a few years sell it and buy you a new one.

I'm not a watchmaker but from what I've read recently on this topic it looks like there's not a direct correlation between how slow/fast a watch goes and amplitude. Normally movements incorporate compensation mechanisms so that the same timekeeping is maintained even at lower amplitudes e.g. a healthy Rolex movement will maintain the same accuracy at 300 and 200 degrees. Some watches run slow some run fast at low amplitudes and vice versa depending on many possible other factors affecting the movement. In this case it happens that the defect is causing them to run slow.

It just goes to show you are overpaying for the name time accuracy was perfected when quartz came out and the simple fact of the matter is that a cheap 20 dollar quartz watch is more accurate than your Rolex the real issue here is that Rolex is no longer a tool to tell time but a flex instagram piece that lower middle class people buy to show that they made it what a joke. They are finding out now that Rolex is not worth the money you pay.

Thank you for sharing this, will think twice about getting a new one now.

By the way, you may be the only one mentioning this issue on KZread. As you intimidated many may have ties with businesses buying & selling these watches hence they would prefer to burry the issue to avoid affecting business…

Did you take the watch to an RSC?

Most rolex are safe queens , just like mine ,so faults like this wont show up for years .

Instead of one million watches, Rolex are going to produce more than two million watches per year by building a new factory. All made by hand🤣. All the marketing of Rolex is a big scam, and people believe in it.🤣

20 seconds a day. 2 years old explorer

Damn, you’re very impressionable. Sad.

Thats why i own OMEGAAAAAAAA

This is real but nobody talks about it in the open. Owners with multiple watches are worried about the investability so don't want to hear it and the watch channels / dealers are too worried about the value of their stock and business. I own a watch with 3235 movement, runs a few seconds slow but I will definitely keep an eye on it during the warranty period. Also will not add any extra 32xx powered watches, especially from grey with less warranty until some fix is found.

That's good to know, however, I doubt someone has orchestrated a fake news campaign with so many random online users involved. I'm sure not every movement is perfect out of the gate. What we don't know is how widespread the issue is yet.

My 16 month old Sea Dweller 126600 is currently at the RSC for low amplitude, losing about 15 seconds per day. Not fake news. And a 12 - 15 week turnaround, which is astonishingly poor customer service. As soon as I get it back it will be sold and I will be going back to Omega.

Just buy a new one

No problem😊 Rolex is just an accessory on the wrist. We look at the time from mobile phone.😅

Rolex not worth the price. Not surprised 👍

I own 3 Rolex watches and I kind of agree... but the same goes with all other luxury watches, especially high horology which are even more dainty.

Not convinced that there is a problem. Need much more objective, quantifiable, and authenticated data.

@treiceasurirele2022

What kind of data? Rolex definitely won't admit publicly to any problem. All the timegrapher measurements posted in that thread are pretty quantifiable and we have testimonies from actual Rolex watchmakers that there is a problem.
