How the heck do I set the hour hand on 116710ln

So this past week I recently adopted a gmt master II. I have no idea how to set the hour hand. Where do I place it between the indices when the minute hand is already 20,30, 40 minutes into the hour? I'm familiar of all the positions and what nots. I've watched lots of videos it's just the hour hand part I'm having trouble with.

All the best,

Glenn

No need to worry about it. The hour hand will correctly place itself in accordance with the minute hand. (or perhaps I don't understand your question)

I wish the minute hand would do the same in accordance with the second hand. That would be sweet.

Crown all the way out, 2 clicks, is the minute hand. One click in sets the hour. It's a small click and can be easy to miss until you get your feel for it. The GMT hand sets with the minute hand.
