Does Submariners comes with 3186 movements?

[fastsapphire]

hi...was looking around for submariners locally.
Saw a grey ad saying new submariner with new 3186 automatic movements.
Rolex official website says 3135.

Any experts here can clarify this? Thanks.

Most likely the grey ad make a typo error . In most case, trust the info at the Rolex web site .

isnt the 3186 the new movement seen in the EX2 ??

[fastsapphire]

Checked with the seller....It's a typo error from him.
Thanks all for the advice.

The Explorer II (42mm) is fitted with the all in-house 3187 movement, upgraded from the 3186 with Rolex's own paraflex shock absorbers, instead of the out-sourced KIF absorbers in the 3186.

Rolex Movement:

1) 3135 - DJ, DJ II, Sub Date

2) 3186 - Ex2 and GMT2

Clearly the grey dealer had a typo somewhere, perhaps due to cut and paste.

wow this want i do no leh: which year and what series: is fitted with the all in-house 3187 movement: upgraded from the 3186?: how to tell or know my Explorer II (42mm) in-house 3187 movement: i thought 3186 movement: anybody can help this outstanding info:

All explorer 2 42mm are fitted with 3187.
From late z onwards (ard 2007), explorer 2 40mm are fitted with 3186.
Before that , all are fitted with 3185.

Some said exp 2 3186 would be collectible in future as it was made for 3 yrs (hopefully as I owning one)

Believe it or not, it's only a 3186 in the GMT II c. A page from the GMT II c TT owner's manual:



Hope this woke u up further!! Cheers!

Yes I know this new 42mm exp using 3187: because I saw review from YouTube: but when asking ppl respond said no is 3186: so now I know I not wrong that i said to ppl is using 3187 Alamak : thanks bro you wake me up now: how about gmt2c 3186 or 3187: this want I need to know:

So far , there are no news of 3187 on gmt2c. But i forsee, they may put it in near future, no point for them to maintain 2 production lines for the same feature. I have heard they are putting the new blue Lume on newer batch of gmt2c , maybe those who bought the gmt2c could verify.

Now understand what is 3185 3186: 3187 is extra improvement right: somethin like shock resistant:

3185 to 3186
-more precise setting of the 12 positions for the 12-hourhand when switching to another timezone.
-own hairspring fitted, the "Parachrom Bleu"

3186 to 3187
- KIF shock system replaced with Paraflex

I believe most of the changes are due to Eta limiting the supplies of parts outside of the swatch group.

My GMT IIc TT bought in March 2013 (AN series) has Green lume. Between the GMT II c's green and my Explorer II Black (42mm)'s blue, the blue lume looks brighter (just my opinion though).

Thank you so much: I like this info outstanding: so what happens to sub: 3135 old and new same movement ?

3135 is fitted with new Parachrom Bleu but the movement number remains unchanged.
