Yup, it’s a known issue on the 3186 but I’ve read that gen owners have managed get it fixed for free by RSC even if the watch is out of warranty. And RSC replaces it with a jumping hour click spring with an updated design which is supposedly stronger and less prone to breaking.

Interesting read where you can see that the gen 3186 movement also has issues with the date changing click spring... so its not only reps that have issues.....
Bummer when you pay 10k plus for a watch...

Hey man, greetings from Argentina, I have from today three, yes THREE 3186 clone movements that have this issue, one black bezel, then a batman, and today almost certain broke the third one, a pepsi with jubilee...I am sorry if its already discussed somewhere but I cant find it, not very agile whith forums, is there a "solution" for this issue in the replica 3186??? I cant quite recall the makers of the watches, but maybe the pepsi is a CLEAN and the batman too. is there a better movement or a better replacement piece to fit??? I use the gmts a lot and give true use to the jumping hour function as I need the Miami and China hour besides the Buenos Aires, Argntina one. Hope someone can help me or indicate me in the right direction
