All of the 16710's have the 3185 except from the latest M serials which have the 3186 movement which is the new upgraded movement used by the ceramic GMT

So as far as the upgrade goes... anything significant from 3185 to 3186?

TIA

The 3186 is a slightly modified 3185. It comes fitted with the new in-house Parachrom hairspring and the setting mechanism has been re-arranged to further isolate the hands within the movement while changing time.
