Do you regularly use a mechanic watchwinder? That could be your problem.

Check the aptitude on your speaker system, you may have a soapy crown?

So we now have a thread that is basically mocking the 32xx issue? That's fantastic.

On a serious note in my 50 years of collecting Rolex it has become nothing more than sec,mins,hrs . Let’s hope we go back to a time where it’s about the $€£$€€£

Since they usually run slow, your’s is collectable! Hold onto to it until the market peaks!

Give it a year or two until it slows down to -30 seconds a day or so, then you will understand the frustrations that many have with our 32xx movements.

Make sure the watch is fully wound. Take it off and wind the crown a full 40 turns. Should do the trick!

Get a real watch.

Something with a 31xx movement will do nicely if it has to be a Rowlex. That way you can save precious time and money by not having a timegrapher and simply enjoy your watch freely with confidence
Or to step it up a notch or two, you may have a look at an Omega Co-axial or quartz or even a Seiko quartz, maybe even a G-shock

Good luck.
And please get back to us with what ever direction you chose to go?

Mine was a facetious post in a facetious thread. Peter 'padi56' is known to have a low opinion of watchwinders.
