GMT Master Setting Direction-

Hi all-
Back in August I picked up a 2019 BLRO on Jubilee off a seller here (Recaro18) who seems to be a pretty reliable seller: https://crowninoystercase.com/

I did quit a bit of follow up on the seller/bought the seller/etc, and it came with a warranty card. It passes every of the realness tests I could come up with (light, shape vs my other GMT master II, Rehaut, etc).

However, I just noticed something: The crown 'setting' direction is inverted from my BLNR (which I have had serviced by a Rolex authorized local repair shop, also bought off a seller here, though IIRC, this is an 'early' one, ~2013).

On my BLNR, turning clockwise advances the time both for the hour hand in their respective setting directions.

HOWEVER, the BLRO is the opposite. COUNTER-clockwise advances the time, and clockwise goes the other way.

DID the direction of setting change between the 3186 and 3285 movements? Am I just overreacting to this?

The 3285 sets counterclockwise compared to the 3186 which sets clockwise.

Ah, ok, thanks! That is exactly what is happening here.
