32xx movement problem poll and data thread

First post after 12.5 years; very high 3230 amplitudes, close to 300 degrees, what was the lift angle setting? This watch seems to be very healthy, worn every day!

Lift angle set at 53. I thought data may add value as I don’t suspect many have worn daily for as long of a stretch.

What were the timegrapher data when the watch was new (04/2023)?
I think it would be interesting to measure this 3230 along the full power reserve, i.e., after 0,12,24,36,48,60 hours.

When new, I only checked dial up at full power and not other positions (don’t ask me why) and the amplitude new was 285-292 rate +1-2

I’ll check other positions when I have some time and report back.

Seems like that’s some encouraging data.

Yes, after 12 months of ownership, let's wait, he is not the first one reporting encouraging results.

That dounds like 2027
Do you know why 5 positions at 0,12,24,36,48,60 is interesting to study?

My DJ41 from 2018 had to go to RSC in 2021 for the mentioned issue. It’s now doing well. My 126610 from 04/22 is still running very accurate and so is my OP36. Let’s see in the near future.

power reserve only 56 hours? 3285

hello, bit of advice about my batgirl..watch is 2020 and i thought was running fine at +2 a day. Recently tested for power reserve by winding and walking for 6 miles. Thought that would put a full wind into the watch but it ran for 56 hours and not the stated 70 or so hours. Don't have access to a timegrapher unfortunately. Will repeat the test but whats the communities thoughts on this?

What does the AD or the RSC say when you bring in a piece with the issue or when you get it back? Do they say anything other than "hmm, we've seen some people have that issue" or "here you go, fixed"?

The rep asked what the issue was and I explained that I lost 8sec in ~8hrs after a full wind from a dead stop, and she put down 'power reserve' issue on my receipt

I was also told I would hear from someone explaining what was wrong with my watch in ~a week (it's been 1week today) and that it would take 6-8weeks for the service.

100% of ADs act like they’d never heard of the issue before. Same applies for the RSC personnel.

As far as I know, none of the watch YouTubers have acknowledged the 32XX issue either, even though I'm pretty sure they are aware of the complaints, if only because I've asked several of them to comment on the issue. I assume they don't want to risk provoking the ire of Rolex.

Even the "I'm a former RSC watchmaker" or "I'm a former RSC manager" people refuse to answer questions related to this.

Worn&Wound mentioned the issue in two articles about a year ago but then crickets.

Walking won't wind your watch unless you swing your arms a lot.
