Ahem... speaking with a knowledgeable watchmaker at my AD, also a great guy, he and I were talking and he suggest/think/predicts that the 3186 will be replaced in 2018. He said the movement has been around a while, and with all the new improvements in the 3200 series (like my 3235 DJ41 ) Rolex will update the GMT out of the 3100 in to 32... something. Heck, I'll predict it's the 3274! Anyway, it kind of makes sense, the 3186 has been powering the GMTs and older Explorers for many years... Time for an upgrade?

Interesting that your watchmaker had this foresight!

Absolutely no problems. As good as it gets.
Normally a movement is not that interesting. Choose the watch you really like the most, regardless what's under the hood
