Is there a way for manufacturer’s to test power reserve the same way they test accuracy? Would a low amplitude indicate a movement that isn’t getting a full wind?
They will be able to yes. I imagine like you say amplitude will vary as the watch is wound more so will be an indicator. Ultimately I imagine they wind it fully and see how it performs.
Did the previous owner ask Rolex not to do a polish on the watch since they assumed the buyer would prefer it that way? Either way looks so much better now!
A great testimony to purchasing a used reference with Rolex warranty!
Indeed. People assume/think Rolex are bullet proof but all mechanics things can have issues. The warranty was a great thing to have with it.

Nope it was polished, just very badly!
Glad you got it sorted!
Looks great and a rolex you can wear every day.
