My question "Or does the new engraving come along with an improved 32xx movement which contains some visible component modifications to cure the 32xx issue(s)?" was not answered directly but no visible component modification and often no component wear detectable.

The root cause of issues seems to be (or is) the 32xx design including the migration of lubricants, so basically 'everything' imo.

Apropos design: the Rolex 32xx calibers have only one mainspring barrel for approx. 70 hours of power reserve. Fifty Fathoms movements (1151, 1315) have 2 or 3 series-coupled barrels for 100 or 120 hours power reserve, which is much better imo.
