Considering it's the same movement, I don't think that has anything to do with the dial. SearChart mentioned some early production runs of the 3235 didn't have proper lubrication on the seconds wheel pivot, which was adversely affecting timekeeping, and was correctable under warranty. Or, you might have come across a poorly-regulated one - doesn't mean the MkI watches are all worse at keeping time than the MkII. Either way, I agree with vivicorsi that it would have made more sense to have it remedied under warranty rather than sell it and buy another one, but to each his own.
