r11co Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Also the movement looks so original with the rotor and the gold colour gears But it beats faster?! Who'd have thought it - a franken that improves on the gen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Not correct - Rolex intentionally lowered the bph to 28.8K in order to get a longer lasting movement... so 36K isn't necessarily an avantage - except from reading the Chrono more exact... I'm really sorry to caorrect a master like you Oliver, but that's not the reason. The reason is that the 36K el primero movement required a special lubrification different from the ones at 28800... And rolex wanted to use also for service the same kind of oils. The el primero is a long lasting movement even in the 36k version, it only requires a special attention and a special lube when it is serviced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
