If I remember correctly, caliber 3185 went out of production in April 2007. And since there was a time lag the caliber 3186 based Explorer IIs was at ADs during the autumn/winter of 2007. They were late Z-serials. I got an M0-serial in February 2008 and it has caliber 3186. Ref 16570/3186 has been seen with serials late Z, M, V, low G and some random.

It may be worth noting that the very last white Explorer IIs had slimmer black indexes compared to the earlier, allowing for slightly more lume. But you need to know what to look for... (minor differencies as usual with Rolex from time to time).

Do a search on chrono24.com and you will find several new ones.

Good luck!

Best,

A
