How many GMT masters are ....

[jwill051]

I keep 24hr hand set to home time and adjust the 12hr to local time when I travel.

Mine sits at local time, but during the Sochi games I set it to that time zone just for kicks. Like some others here I don't travel much and I have no need to keep track of another time zone.

GMT hand always set to home, hour hand set to local time. When I'm at home and the GMT hand shows that it's more than halfway through the day, it lights a fire under my @ss because it seems like I haven't accomplished enough yet!

Mine is set to GMT. This is useful as GMT rules aviation time. I frequently travel for fun and just rotate the bezel so the GMT hand points to local time. This works just fine for me. I've changed the hour hands a couple of times but found I prefer knowing my home time for some reason. The GMT is such a great watch!

I always set 12 hand for home time and 24 hand for UTC. I never change both 12&24 hand. when i travel i just rotate bezel depends on local time zone. as a result, i still get my home time on 12 hand and local time on 24 hand. if i want to know UTC time, i just rotate bezel to the top index.

You can set it to whatever reference as long as you remember which is what.

Fourth hand stays set to home time. When I travel, hour hand is set to wherever I am bound / visiting.

This is how I would use it as well. If I'm not mistaken, this configuration gives you 2 time zones instead of 3, but I wouldn't feel the need for 3 anyway.

X2.
And not having to unwind and reset current local time on 12 hr hand.

I set mine to the time in Arizona as my parents have retired there.

Local time, so I can read the 2400 hr and not have to calculate the 12 hour adjustment

I set 24 hour hand to ZULU time and rotate the bezel for home time if going out of home time zone, and quick set the hour hand to local time.

Rotating bezel for local time so you don't have to quickset the hour hand sounds like a novel idea, but I wouldn't use that method because it's counter productive. If you rotate the bezel for home time when outside your home time zone, you are able to quickly know if it's 0700 vs 1900hrs, for instance. Whereas if you had moved the bezel for local time and left the regular hour hand on home time, you don't know if it's 0700 or 1900.

Not sure I understand this. The GMTII allows you to track as many time zones as you wish, regardless of what reference the 24 hand is set to. You simply have to know what the offsets are from the reference you have the 24 hand set at. Other than that the watch functions the same way regardless of whether you use home time, UTC, or some other reference.
