Are the cal 3185 adjusted?

I just learned what the expression "adjusted to x positions" mean; that the movement is adjusted for accuracy in so many positions, vertically and horizontally. 6 positions is maximum I believe.
So, how about this Explorer on my wrist, is it adjusted or not?
And the weekend in sight!

All modern day Rolex chronometer watches are tested like any other Swiss Chronometer.They are tested in 5 different positions and temperatures and if passed they are certified.But all Rolex movements are timed in 5 positions whether they were tested or not.Before take the non date sub it was not COSC tested but had exactly the same movement as the Explorer that was tested all the Rolex Oyster range is now COSC tested.But today with very careful regulation most modern day movements any brand from any country could pass the COSC test and your watch is a Explorer11 if it has the Cal 3185.

Padi56, thank you so much, most interesting indeed. I wonder why most watch manufacturers don't appreciate these nerdy forums. I thrive in researching these trivia, but I can never find them at the "home" of these watches.
