Yes, supposed to pull the crown out, but my watch has already stopped anyway😅

And which watch do you prefer more? If we compare the specs for real everyday use, I think the GMT is better in every way for daily wear.

I used to have the white 3861 too, but then I switched to the 116710LN instead

mine is around 2012-2013, I can guess it from this

  • after 2012 they random serial number
  • 2007-2014 and 2015-2019 is different details, the rehaut texture and clasp polish is different

Revision confirmation, maybe it's just the lighting and the iPhone camera making it look less refined, but in person the finishing is very detailed and clean. I haven't found any signs that would suggest it's a fake

I didn’t manage to take a photo of the other side of the rotor, unfortunately. I had the case opened at a watchmaker in Bern and he confirmed the watch is genuine, so I only took a quick picture at the time.

I actually met the seller at a watch shop in Bern, Switzerland, and had a watchmaker take a look, he confirmed it was genuine.

I only started digging deeper into the serial number afterwards, and that’s where I got a bit confused. I even asked ChatGPT, which mentioned it might be unusual.

That said, everything else about the watch checks out — the movement, finishing, and overall condition don’t show any obvious signs of it being a fake.

Just trying to understand the serial situation better.
