This is kind of an odd ball question but did the very first batches of the GMTIIC have the 3185 or did they start out with the 3186?

Kanger · 9 July 2011, 09:10 AM

All 3186 with the parachrom from its inception in the Z serial GMT II C :)

Kanger · 9 July 2011, 09:11 AM

And lmfao don't tell me Dan you cracked the caseback open and found a 3185 lol

Naa, just have too much time on my hands thinking about watches........

LMFAO if you found a 3185 you will have the only GMT IIC of this kind. We shall call this rare specimen the "error GMT II C" movement lol.

Yes, the 3186 movement wasn't introduced till the late Z's and all M's prior to making way to the 116710.

Hi,
Is it possible? I was looking at one today. Early Z serial. It had 3185 movement. I was under impression that 116710 had 3186 in it.

That's for 16710. all GMT-C has 3186

newmagic · 17 May 2012, 03:08 PM

Are you sure? I see dealers advertizing on-line 116710 with 3185 movements. I am pretty sure that one I saw was 3185. Is it possible that Rolex used 3185 in early Z serial 116710?

No but if you opened the case and if they were not stamped its doubtful if most could tell the difference

SeaDweller50 · 17 May 2012, 05:15 PM

AFAIK there are no early Z serial 116710's. Z9xxxxx ser and newer received the 3186 movement in the 16710.

Which baffles me as to why they didn't put the blue spring into the late 16610 3135 movement. I've got a random ser no 16610 produced late 2010 but I believe it has the Nivarox inside. In saying that it's more accurate than any watch I've owned with the parachrom.

Accuracy is not down to whatever they want to call the metal the hairspring is made from.Accuracy comes mainly from how well the movement has been regulated.If its not regulated correctly no matter what hairspring is in the case accuracy will suffer its that simple.

xjeeunitx · 17 May 2012, 10:25 PM

this is not right... im assuming they took out the 3186 and put in a 3185. a regular person wouldnt even know the sifference as its basically the same movment. id stay away from thatonw.

imono · 17 May 2012, 10:57 PM

Not a chance it would have 3185.
Perhaps you could show the place where this could be seen?

JGX · 17 May 2012, 11:08 PM

I thought we'd covered this earlier on today in this thread?

This is this thread, lol

No, this is this thread but there is a thread that isn't this thread and it's that thread that was the this thread that was the thread that was this thread. . . Hope that clears things up. . .

RRGHOST1 · 18 May 2012, 03:25 AM

At least JGX knows what he is talking about !

Tools · 18 May 2012, 03:57 AM

I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of 116710's out there with a 3185 in it.. although it wasn't there originally.

That's why there are so many overpriced 16710's with a 3186 in them on the Internet now days... smart crooks are changing them out to rope in uneducated buyers..
