What is going on with 32xx Rolex movements
Hey folks,
I wrote about the Explorer 124270 a few years back, then I wrote about the Exp II 226570 as well, but I see it all over and I am really struggling to understand how Rolex does not fix it. The 32xx is running horribly compared to the 31xx. I have two 31xx that are running so consistently and two 32xx that are consistently annoying. I am honestly considering moving my 226570 Explorer II for another 5 digit reference at the moment. I honestly find the 5 digits to be way more comfortable and in my case- more reliable. I don’t really understand how people can really tolerate that or maybe it is just the Rolex fans pay more attention to the desirability at the moment more than the quality. Sorry if it hurts anyone, I am just very frustrated with my 6 digits at the moment. |

Sorry to hear about your obvious pain and frustration.
My 225670 runs about 0.5+ a day consistently at the moment. Worn 24/7, even at night. Cannot complain! Drop it at the AD for a checkup if it is significantly and consistently out of spec when worn. That's what warranty is for. |

I had my 126200 checked and serviced under warranty this year. Was also running very slow. Now for almost 3 months very consistant, a bit on fast side. Maybe they install better parts now that the movement is a fewyears old. A service can do good!

That’s the first time I hear about a fix. Care to share what was the solution to the low amplitude problems with this movement ?

I agree that I often have to recalibrate my Rolex with that series do caliber. It’s a bit frustrating but then, I remember that my ROC was 10/s day off and I was told it was ok.

I am very much traumatized taking my watch to RSC. They do not look after the watch to the standards that I’d be comfortable with so it is not an option for me as I might end up being more frustrated with scratches I didn’t cause or a hair in the dial or a messed up caseback.
I find it inexcusable having to go to an RSC even under warranty, to fix issues like these. |

Not true… I am having a blast with my vintage Omegas & Rolexes & Breitling. But when I buy a modern Rolex that claims to keep +-2 seconds per day and receive a -12 result it is very unacceptable. I have a 14060m never serviced that is still keeping consistently +2 seconds per day and jumps to +4 consistently when not worn face up. So I disagree, I enjoy mechanical watches very much.

I know there's been a lot of complaints with the 32xx movement but I've had zero issues with any of mine since 2018.

Im surprised that with 9!! 32xx series rolex you arent on some kind of VIP list where rolex makes sure you get the defect free movements instead of one of the 25% of movements with the defect.

Wow, dude, chill. I obviously did not mean to “mock” or make fun of people with actual trauma. Being disgusted by it is all yours.

For the record, you don't have to justify anything to anyone. Especially as it's obvious you are using our own words that we can understand quite well what you mean. Besides, who is some faceless person that's possibly not suitably qualified and sitting down in front of you to judge sufficiently whether you are or aren't actually traumatised to some degree. For some, the struggle is real. |
