Along these lines, is there any chance this gremlin lives in the Parachrom hairspring? It sounds hellishly complicated to make according to a 2018 description posted in the Rolex newsroom, and requires no more than .2 microns deviation in 50 microns of thickness over 20 cm. length. Is it possible that some strange fatigue or memory develops in places slightly out of tolerance in it, or some other weirdness takes place? In other words, is the pursuit of 70 hrs just going beyond the limits of the material? Apologies if this is a stupid question (or discussed before) but I have only made it through about half the posts so far-

I is not a stupid question, but forget this speculation.

All reported problems, summarized in this thread (3161, 3182), yield to the same root cause of the main 32xx problem: migration of lubricants.
