Are there 6 digit Master GMTs w/ 3185 Movements Out There?

I know there were some late run 16710 Master GMTs that got the 3186 movements, but was wondering if some early 6 digit got the older movement.

Somewhat confused. I thought most of them had the 3185 movement.

All 16710 from 1988 had the cal 3185 till around end of the Z serial production, and continue through the end of the M production serial with the cal 3186.But always best to get back off watches for 100% check for cal 3186.Now with the cal 3185 for one complete turn of the crown the second time zone hand will jump around 5 hours with the cal 3186 around 8-9.

Thank you for that. Are there early 116710 watches that may have gotten the 3185, or were they phased out by that time?

No all ceramic bezel will have cal 3186 some of the first ones in production did have a movement problem but later rectified by Rolex.
