Watch Part V

[Discoburg]

Hahaha ok. Cheap watch no need to service one is it? 

Bell&Ross

Need to service meh?
Still running just wear lah

 

[Arogab]

As far as I am concerned, most of the automatic watch as worn regularly do not need to service, if you really like to do it, do it once in five years should be ok

I was told now Rolex advise is to service once every 10 years. 

Heard this from the AD when buying the submariner last year.

Read in the manual. It should not say ten years. I think now they give 3 or 5 years warranty. I cannot remember correctly. 

 

My GMT 2 actually went kaput in 6 or 7 years. I supposed the auto winder was loosened thur my own analysis as I somehow knows a little of technical on this

 

Anyway, I still send in to have a good polish to make it look like new

Manuals will say what they will say.

 

What happened to your GMT.

Probably the 6 digit ref right?

The hour hand click spring is usually the culprit for the 3186 movement

Ah ok. I thought should send for servicing and not wait for it to break down.

i see, got problem than of course get it fixed and service at the same time. 

My GMT2 was service only once in the 20 years that i owe it. wearing it almost everyday.

Bro, 

 

Mine was ok but I notice the rotor sound gets louder. Thus I send it in at the age of 7 lor. Anyway I need a good polishing too. After service of course all get back like new. Anyway I only wear it in SG

 

When working, I got my black bay(or should I call it black Barossa as paste on the box)  with the rose logo and my Longines with 4 retrograde switching around now with my Chopard superfast liao

 

You are very right actually, if it is not spoil, just keep wearing it

Usually, my first tudor sub lasted as long too. But I always think it is luck as well and your activity I always do the icep curls with beer. haha.

 

But I think as long as you wear it regularly, it should works damn fine. my Green Sub which OC used to take and wear stopped just in 2 years. Lucky is under warranty and now fees. Other than that, most of my other automatics are just wear and seldom service

Hearsay 3186 problem many many.. I have 4 watches with that movement..siao liao.. that why I always try to adjust the hour gently and slowly.. not sure if that will prolong the inevitable boh

 

For the date, I think just heck care the date lah, if too far away...

 

Btw late model year 16570 also using 3186.. and these are being promoted by as being super rare as it had a short production run

 

216570 using caliber 3187 which is a derivative of 3186

Yah you siao liao.

Confirm got problem with the hour hand clip spring.

You try to turn the hour hand like me lah.h

Fast fast turn many rounds.

Within a few years clip spring sure break. I broke mine (solid gold 116718)

Went to Rolex, out of warranty, they repair for free.

Thereafter i sold the watch becos i cannot stand wearing a Rolex and treating it like a Patek.

Rolex is no Rolex if it has to be babied, thats my philosophy

 

But I gave the supercase solid gold GMT2 a chance, dont say i didnt.

Moreover i bought it brand new from local AD

 

Never had any problem with caliber 3185 with any of the 12 GMT2 And 6 Exp2 i have had.

 

Late model exp2 and GMT 16710 also use 3186. Yes

But Only noobs and goons covet the 3186 thinking its an “improved” 3185

They will fall for it as long as they blindly follow what the marketing wants them to follow

 

For the 3187, i cant comment.

No first hand experience yet.

And dont care to try.

Thanks bro! Both are chio, but my preference is the Nautilus because of the detailing on the case and bracelet. :)
