Just wonder how many 32 series movements are in this world today, most probably a 1000000 plus. And just wonder how many of these movements have been sent back to Rolex for adjustment. What this boils down to speaking for myself I cannot see any reason whatsoever not to buy and enjoy wearing any 32 series movement watch. But must admit I wear my watches and only check time once a week or so no matter the movement inside, thank god my life's not run to the exact second .

To be honest, I am not obsessed with every second slower or faster. Whenever I get a new watch I do check it for a few days just to see that all is ok. I recently got a pristine Explorer 1 and checked it. It does +2 sec a day and maintains that pretty well.

I also got the new Breitling 806 reissue and that has a 70 hour reserve and also keeps a more or less consistent +2 sec per day over 3 days. This is not an issue for me, even 5-10 per day is not an issue.

Its just this BLRO that has inconsistent performance that points to a latent problem and when I saw these posts the penny dropped...
