Parachrom Blue Hairspring

[jSkywalker]

Hi,

Do you guys know if the new blue hairing spring is being fitted in the M-series submariner or the submariner LV ?

or all the submariners are still on the older movement ?

[ohlins]

nope......so far no news and no evidence of submariners being equipped with parachrom bleu.....

only new submariners launched at basel 08 get the newer hairspring........

[seiko.citizen]

is it possible for a watchmaker to buy the parachrom blu and install it... my guess is that it will fit, and since the case sizes remain same, the mov't should also be same size, thus it "should" be able to be interchangable

[submariner_yeo]

RSC wont do tat.

thats what I read and understand from other forums too...

i know RSC wont do that, but i was thinking if a 3rd party watchmaker will?

[submariner_yeo]

i know it can be done in the US, europe and others parts of the world. not in singapore. you can give a try on 3rd party watchmaker in local. do let us know. =D

[seiko.citizen]

noted.... im sure it could be done. now time to find someone who knows

[seiko.citizen]

not all that is hyped to be. IMHO, but it is good to try out something new.

The gap between the 3185/3186 is the blue hairspring, I highly doubt it can mean THAT much difference to a watch. However that has yet to be seen.

It is IMO an advancement in tech tat ROLEX wans to show to its competitors. How effective? Unless u r in te relevant industry n able to grapple/understand such precise engineering, otherwise, it is nt easy to measure.

Personally...I dun really care about what is inside the watch haha,wad parachrom blue hairspring...not like u can see from outside...so I dun care haha.

you forgot to factor in the USE of such "advancements" it could very well be that the watch runs better WITH it.........im not sure.

True...true..

Not sure if its used on other models but know it is definitely on the 16710 with 3186, or the newer explorerII with 3186..

hi

awesome movement pic
you can just make out the free sprung balance - IMHO only the top tier watches will have this form of balance mechanism

hi is this F series daytona using the new blue parachrom spring?
