I have an early Sea Dweller 43 (June 2017 also) and have the watch in a rotation with other watches so it sits unwound for weeks. No issues at this point but this is good information to have in case it loses or gains a minute a day all of a sudden.

Taking a look at the 3235

Thank you for the incredible shots and showing the breakdown. It gives those of us who don’t get to see the inner workings of such a precision piece and allows us to appreciate it even more. Look forward to more of your posts. Just to add YES!!!!! It’s nice to see a post without Basel 2019 or Basel 2020 predictions in it.

Sigh, if only Rolex would install exhibition casebacks as an option.

I’m waiting for the first person to demand that Rolex give them a new watch because of this issue...

Well Bas is a pledge member and a Rolex technician.

Perhaps we need more of both to continue?

Thanks again Bas.

Taking a look at the 3235

Thanks Bas for the great pics and explanation about the issue. I have a 126600 with caliber 3235 of early 2018.
I will monitor the timekeeping more closely now.
Great work you are doing!

Why do you think Rolex did not finish the balance bridge on the 3235 in Perlage like they did on the 3135 movement?

No idea, just a different aesthetic design. I definitely like the new circular brushed look.
