32XX Help!!

Woke up this morning and my Polar ExpII was running an hour and 12 seconds behind! Everything seemed fine yesterday. Should I send it to RSC??



Happy watch resetting day for those of you who participate

Absolutely! Send it to RSC ASAP. Sorry that you have to deal with this, but the 32xx movement is a dog, IMHO. Too many problems and inconveniences to be worth the trouble.

Mine is just minutes off and is still useable as a nice bracelet.
That’s the only thing a modern Rolex with a 32 movement is good for.

Fortunately I have several older ones which run > 2 decades trouble free.

That flew right over your head! Read what OP said again.

Eeesh. I take it it’s a 226570 with 3285 movement?

I would wind her up completely and see what happens. If it happens again I would take her to RSC.

It’s the “12 seconds” that’s thrown everyone incl me. I think. If it’d been “one hour,” itd have been funny. The 12 seconds plus the 32xx known issues make it sort of real, and therefore less cute.

So much hate for the 32XX. That whirring you just heard was the sound of a finely crafted joke going right over your head.

Not hate. And the joke most likely only works for those forum members in who's country the clocks go forward on 12 March

The 32xx concern is quite real, despite what the deniers may believe

I had a feeling these type of post would start today. Next will be mass hysteria as millions of Rolex's lost a hours worth of time keeping overnight.

No doubt the passing of a alien ship during the night equipped with a flux capacitor stopped movements dead in there tracks for 60 minutes.

Are we reading the same forum? As a start see posts 2, 4 and 7 in this thread. And isn’t the thread about the 32XX problems up to a hundred pages now? I stopped reading it months ago.

If by fall season your Rolex doesn't gain back the hour lost, then you may have to get that questionable 32xx movement checked.

I tend to agree but it depends upon how often one checks their watch.
After all 12 seconds either way over a week or month is noteable for all the right reasons

Thanks all for obliging me in some fun… For those of you who got thrown off, my apologies. Today marked an hour “jump” for many of us in the US, Canada and Caribbean as Daylight Savings Time started. My watch actually was an hour plus ~12 seconds off this morning, having last been set about three weeks ago, but only 12 seconds due to natural causes. I know many have had issues with the 32xx movements and so I’ve always kept an eye on mine, but found it to stay in an acceptable range.

I guess EB White was right. “Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.”

I don's see hate. Just genuine frustration that Rolex released a movement that has problems they cant seem to fix.
