3185 vs 3186

[louie]

You ask yourself what do you want?

2 or 3 time zones for Exp II or GMT II respectively with date function? if you are a frequent flyer or traveller that keeping time for 2 to 3 places are important. (ha ha.. in case you have family everywhere)

Or you need the chronograph function? you are in sport or any kind of business that you need to measure time.

Daytona 4130 movt is more sensitive than 3186 as it also store more energy (up to 72hrs), for that you pay more...

Rolex is a working watch or tool
For sport series
if you sail buy Yatch Master
if you dive buy SubMariner
if you dive deeper buy SeaDweller
if you diver to the deepest buy DeepSea
if you fly buy GMT II
if you climb buy Exp II
if you race buy Daytona
if you are attending any important function... any of the above, be it SS, TT, WG or YG... not forgetting DJ, Day-date.... Hence, you got alot of choice and buying Rolex will never be a wrong choice...

POWER!

So which movement is better since both hav the same parachrom blu hairspring?
4130 or 3186?
Thanks again...

The movement inside the watch supports it's function. So these 2 movements serve totally different functions and would be difficult to compare on a one to one basis.

You should instead focus on the functions you want or need for your watch.

Seems that the Daytona was fitted with the Parachrom hairspring since the year 2000. The hairspring "became blue" only in the year 2005. So between 2000 and 2005, the Daytona model will have the metallic colour Parachrom hairspring.

Thanks ohlins with such a prompt reply!

Then can I know what kinda mov't is daytona using?
Thanks

[seiko.citizen]

daytona not using 3186 mov't, but believe alot of the mov't will sport the parachrom blu hairspring.

[Daytonalover]

Oic...
This means that 3186 movement is only using a parachrom blu hairspring, same as the M series daytona is it?
Thanks for the info guys!

3186 movt is the latest that been fitted on current GMT 2C and Exp II, those M series Exp II still fitted with older movt is to clear the batch of old movt.

[seiko.citizen]

it is just a spring that is different.... not enough to affect the end user *IMO*

[triton]

it was spotted in the last batch of 16710. not long after the current explorer II M series aka the later batch also contain the movement(some).

one of the key difference is the parachrom blu hairspring.

I heard that they did not produce many this type of movement? Why?
Is it only GMTs have this movement?
