**Please Help** - GMT time setting issues- advice sought

[malc2397]

Hi I'm looking for some advise from the experts regarding my 1989 Rolex GMT Master 16700.

When disengaging the crown to set the time I am able to set the time as normal however I have notice that turning the crown anti-clockwise moves the hand backwards say 5 mins worth then seems to disengage and do nothing however the crown keeps turning.

I assume this is an issue and will need attention as I understand you can set both forwards and backwards with Rolex especially GMT's?

Any help offered will be well received.

Cheers

Sounds like it needs to be serviced.

Agreed. Service time.

Thanks guys - I was advised and received a svc receipt of sorts from May this yr however not to say it ever happened, hasent to say it wasn't from Rolex so who knows...

Other than that it keeps perfect time and no other 'visible' issues.

I'll get it off to my local service centre (Rolex approved svc technician) asap as I don't trust RSC not to change hands, face, date wheel etc...given all the horror stories you hear on TRF.
