Wow this is interesting to hear at the least!!!

Something I never expected. Maybe Rolex installed the 3186 on the older style GMT II's as a way of experimenting/testing the new movement before using it on the GMT II-C.

Does this mean that the older style Z serial GMT II's (16710) models with the caliber 3186 movement are some kind of "transitional" models? It is an interesting thought!
