Edge types in this family
accepteddisputedcontested region
Generations run left to right, ancestors first, and the axis along the top is ordinal rather than linear: each band is one generation, labelled with the range of sourced introduction years it contains. A band reads “—” when no caliber in it has a year anyone published — the gap is the finding, not a rendering failure. Dotted arcs above and below the drawing are related edges — successor, drop-in, no-derivation — which are stored in a different table from lineage and can never form part of an ancestry path.
Every edge in this view
| Caliber | Relationship | To | Status | Detail | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rolex 3230 | variant of lineage | Rolex 3235 | accepted | interchange note: The source presents the 3230 and the 3235 as the no-date and date members of one generation fitted to the same watch in two versions. The delta is the date mechanism. · component delta: calendar_mechanism | |
| Rolex 3235 | derived from lineage | Rolex 3255 | accepted | interchange note: Published delta: the day complication is removed. The source frames the 3235 as the Day-Date 40 movement "without the day complication, thus becoming the Calibre 3235" — the direction of the derivation is the source's, not the corpus's. · component delta: calendar_mechanism | |
| Rolex 3230 | successor of related | design:rolex-3132 | accepted | Commercial replacement in the Explorer and no-date Submariner lines. | |
| Rolex 3235 | successor of related | design:rolex-3135 | accepted | Commercial replacement in the Datejust and Submariner Date lines. The source explicitly denies that the 3235 is "just an evolution of the existing 3135 / 3136 movements", so this stays in the related table and cannot appear in an ancestry path. |
