For me it will be something different to do, that being looking at what time it is there. And I enjoy the Olympics, always have.

Yeah, I do too. I'm not particularly into winter sports really except for hockey but I have to admit I get sucked in to the network production with all the cameras, commentary, and back stories.

I've always been a big fan of the Olympics as well. For some reason I have a bad feeling about this one...hopefully our athletes come home safe (and with the gold!).

My favorite GMT.

Bullitt44 · 5 February 2014, 10:33 AM

And a great idea!!

mck22 · 5 February 2014, 10:37 AM

Neat Idea!

KINGROLESAR · 5 February 2014, 11:55 AM

Lovely watch.

fullcourt · 5 February 2014, 02:01 PM

Can't wait for curling....and maybe the BMW built American bobsled. LoL

Joearch · 5 February 2014, 02:11 PM

Love the GMT idea. I am so looking forward to the Olympics! Downhill, bobsled, ski jumping, hockey, curling....

fishingbear · 5 February 2014, 02:14 PM

That's a great idea unless you are planning on watching the tape delay broadcast during prime time.

Why the hatred of Sochi, from what I have heard it is a lovely place. I don't expect any issues at all.

There will be issues. A CBS Report last night had a story on hackers over there. CBS arrived with brand new laptops and other internet devices and had a security firm monitor them and put false information on them. As I recall, one device was hacked with in five minutes and the others with in 24 hours. It will be interesting.

News reports for conditions there seem very rough.

I have read reports that Russia is home to some of the most capable computer hackers in the world many as young as 10 years old.

You're kidding right???? No snow, surrounded by the former Soviet central Asian Islamic Republics, one way in, one way out..........its going to be a nightmare.......plus, after Putin spent 51 billion dollars, the place is still third world, at best. Sounds lovely.....you're right!!!!!!

I like it! Might steal your idea and do the same thing while the Olympics are on

samson66 · 5 February 2014, 11:28 PM

Can anyone tell me what Sochi time is in relation to US Eastern time zone?

Assuming Sochi time is not the permanent reference for your 24 hour hand and you will reset it after the Olympics are over, why not simply rotate the bezel to track Sochi time instead of resetting the watch?

That's exactly what the bezel is for, to calculate a third time zone.
