After sales rate tolerance for 3186?

Hi, I saw Bas posted the after sales rate tolerances for several models. They are very useful and interesting... thank you!
I did not see however the 3186 movement listed. Is this info available for the 3186? I am mainly looking for the first and second criterion rates.

The 3187 is listed which I have in my Explorer II and I would like to compare it to the 3186 in my GMT Master II. Thank’s in advance. Best regards!

This is also for tolerance for the 3186, it counts for every caliber in between 3130 and 3187.

The reason I ask is because my 3186 from 2018 is not as “tight” in the first criterion as my 3187 (2016).
My 3187 has a variance between positions of 6 but the 3186 had a variance of 11 before regulation but now is down to 8 after regulation by a RSC. Very happy with this result. Amazed at how tight the 3187 is!

An 11 second delta is not unusual for a 31×× caliber but it is indeed not as tight as it should be, even though it is within spec.

If it can't be regulated properly and keeps a larger delta then I'd recommend dynamic poising as the balance wheel might be slightly 'off balance''.

Ok. Thank you Bas. I will keep an eye on it, and will add “dynamic poising”to my limited horological vocabulary. Thank you for your expertise and quick replies. Best regards!
Martin.
