2008 M-Series SeaDweller Movement Question and PHOTO REQUEST

Did the 2008 M-Series 16600 contain the 3135 movement or did they get an "upgrade" during their last year of production?

If it isn't the standard 3135, does anyone have a photo of the M-Series SeaDweller movement they can share? (As long as I'm begging, I might as well ask if you have a photo of the movement "in situ" as opposed to the movement just sitting on a bench...)

I've recently purchased this piece and I'd like to have a file photo of the innards. :)

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help,

Hilo

All 16600 SD's use the 3135, same as the Sub Date and Deep Sea.

Maybe in relation with the upgraded movement in the Gmt2 16710 around the same period (3186 replacing 3185 , starting 2007 with the Z then M series).

Its basically the same cal 3135 that was first introduced in 1988 that was use in the DJ, Sub date, and SD, movement picture is a little on the dark side.

Thanks for taking the time to post the photo, Padi.

Off-topic PS: Just spent a few minutes with my morning coffee looking up your town in Wikipedia. Looks like a beautiful place to live. :)
