GMT 16710 Z9XXXX probability of having a 3186?

HI all

Ive read posts where a number of late Z (even early Z) serial GMT 16710 have had a 3186 movt inside. What would the probability of a Z9XXXX serial GMT be to have a 3186 inside?

Does it depend on the Dial type ie Roman or Stick or box?

Thanks

Look Texaslonghorn just purchased one

Z1xxxxx serial and a non stick dial, and his was confirmed by Dallas RSC as having the 3186. One of mine is a Z9xxxxx also has the 3186, but another Z3xxxxx has the 3185. Whatever the movement, just be happy with it.

Z9***** = almost certainly a 3186 = 100% imo.

I agree Bill but the op was asking about probability. If he had he watch then that would be a test.
