	The market reads the 16760 as a five-firsts watch — first GMT-Master II, first independently adjustable 24-hour hand, first red-and-black configuration on the line, first sapphire crystal, first white-gold-surround indices on a GMT — and prices it at the top end of the early ceramic-era market for clean original-condition examples.

	The 3085 ran in the Explorer II 16550 and the GMT-Master II 16760 only. Production span of the movement itself: 1983 to 1989. The 3185 replaced it on the 16710 with a slimmer profile and quick-set date restored.		The 3085 ran in the Explorer II 16550 and the GMT-Master II 16760 only. Production span of the movement itself: 1983 to 1989. The 3185 replaced it on the 16710 with a slimmer profile and quick-set date restored.

	A small contradiction surfaces in the 3085-vs-3185 service-replacement question. Some service-period reads claim late-fitment 3185 in some 16760 cases, but every consulted auction catalog (Phillips Geneva X, Sotheby's HK, Bonhams Knightsbridge, both Christie's online lots) describes a 3085 in the 16760, including 1988-dated examples. The most likely reading is that Bernard's brief conflates Rolex's service-era movement swaps with original fitment — 3185 swaps appear when an entire movement is replaced at service, not as factory variation. ~~Capture as ''disputed'' pending primary archive confirmation~~.

	Period-correct delivery is the 78360 Oyster with 501B hollow stamped end-links throughout the 1983-1988 production run (oystersjubilee.com fitting guide; ~~Bob's~~). The Jubilee 62510H with 502B end-links was an option. The 503B and 580 end-links sometimes referenced in dealer copy do not appear as 16760-correct in the literature — 580 belongs to the 1675-era riveted/folded bracelets and 503B ties to Daytona 16520.

	Service-era replacements turn up frequently on surviving examples. Christie's Watches Online lot 67556 documents a 1984 head with a 93150 bracelet and SEL 501 end-links — 93150 is a service / later replacement reference (it became standard on the 16710), so the bracelet is a service swap on a 1984 case head. Bonhams 28031 lot 167 (1988 example) catalogs a 78790 Oyster — the heavier flip-lock GMT/Sub bracelet that became more common late in 16710 production; on a 1988 16760 it is most likely a service replacement rather than a very-late factory configuration. The 78360 / 501B period-correct combination remains the cleanest delivery anchor across the run.		Service-era replacements turn up frequently on surviving examples.
