Setting the GMT

[LandRoverII]

I have what may be a simple question, How do you set/use the GMT hand on a Rolex Explorer II. When I bought this watch a year ago, I forgot to ask my AD how to set the thing. I am getting ready to travel some and I thought it might be handy feature.

Thanks

Piece of cake.

. Pull the stem out all the way and set the 24hr hand, minute hand, and hack the second hand.

. Set the date by jumping the Mercedes hand.

. Finally, set the time by jumping the Mercedes hand paying attention to am and pm (see date setting)

You're ready to go. If you set the 24he hand to your home timezone, it will stay there and you change each timezone you go through by jumping the Mercedes hand...

Happy travelling..

That one's great, I didn't quite get the Rolex instructions in the manual, but your gif was very intuitive. Of course, I got it 12 hours off at the time, but that's a whole different story..
