Incoming and 32XX Experience

[BMess]

Added a 124060 to my collection over the weekend. It joins my Pepsi and a handful of other watches including Panerai, Omega, and Cartier. I’ve had a few other Rolex in the past including a DJII, DJ41, and 12 series bluesy.

I’ve had my Pepsi for 1 year now and I wear it on average 3-4 days per week. I’ve never had any accuracy problems with it despite having the 32xx movement.

The 124060 is a welcomed edition to the collection. I wanted something more durable and rugged than the Pepsi on jubilee. Something that I don’t mind showing wear and that I’m not trying to keep somewhat pristine. I was considering two options—Explorer II polar and the Submariner. Although I love the Explorer II polar (I’ve admired it since 2013 while it was still an under-appreciated reference), I needed something smaller for my wrist size so the 124060 was the obvious choice. I don’t mind the maxi case of the 11 series subs and the GMTs, but the slightly more tapered and slightly thinner case fit my small wrist marginally better. Loving the simplicity and symmetry of the dial and the glidelock clasp.

I stopped at a local AD this afternoon to have both the Pepsi and the Sub tested as I’ve heard horror stories about the 32xx movement. To my surprise, the Pepsi is running 0.8 seconds slow per day and the Sub is running 0.5 seconds fast per day. Pretty good in my opinion.




I will be updating this thread with more pictures in the coming days!
