There is no discernible difference between the 3185, 3186 and 3187. Between the 3185 and 3186 is a blue spring and between a 3186 and 3187 a paraflex shock absorber.

Actually, the 3187 is a larger calibre than the 3186

When it was first announced, I wondered if the 3187 would be fitted in the GMT II C, but apparently it's too big

IMO you have not researched this.
If you think the only difference between a 3185 and 3186 is a blue spring - you need to go back to skool.

Have you been caught up in the 'there is no difference' hype?

IMO Rolex gave this movement a new number for a reason.

This shows the parts in the 3186 movement that are not interchangable with the 3185 movement.

Yes, have seen before, what I was trying to say is that there is very little visible difference between the 3, except a bit of blue and a slightly larger diameter movement with the 3187. All of the other changes are internal.

The only one I've seen is in the handbook that comes with the Exp II !
