Paraflex and Parachrom bleu hairspring...
Would any of you know if these upgrades to the 3135 live inside the relatively new:
- 116660 Deepsea - 116610 Submariner I have seen some confusing info on the net. I am positive that both have the parachrom bleu hairspring...but what about paraflex ? Thanks ! |

Both have the in-house hairspring but not the in-house shock system yet well its not avertised it has yet.But whether the older Breguet overcoil type Nivarox hairspring or the Kif shock system.I would doubt in the real world would the average wearer find any real advantage over the past ones that have been used for the past 30 odd years.

currently the only SS watch with Paraflex and Parachrom is the EXPI 39mm
the sub and deepsea have both got the Parachrom Blue hairspring but the old shock absorption system hope that helps

Cheers mates...got my answer..I agree the KIF system works pretty damn fine..so does the Nivarox, but with all the advances in alloy engineering the parachrom alloy hairspring is a welcome change..at least to me
