Thanks for the link.

So the GMT II and EXP II both use the Cal. 3185 movement.

Well there is a saying if its not broke why fix it,but all the mens watches are based on the Cal 3135.Now thats been in production and has not changed since the late 1980s.The Cal 3186 is slightly different with the parachrom balance spring,and ball bearing rotor,but all the main working are still Cal 3135 with added GMT complication.

My GMT-MASTER II, has the 3186 movement.

That would have to be the new Anniversary model. The basic functions still remain the same. Only difference is the new Parachrom Blued hairspring introduced by Rolex.
