No doubt, In the long term , it will be another Rolex classic, but it has already had modifications, and right now I am in no rush to leave the 3135 behind. And as I change watches often, the longer power reserve hardly matters. I certainly wouldn't let the new movement dictate which model I bought. All Rolex movements are superb.

Agreed.
I think that ultimately we have to trust that Rolex will get it right. Eventually.
After all their reputation is at stake.
The Daniels escapement is still being tweaked after early lubrication problems and new movements are being designed around it to optimise it's potential.
