I don't think I am using the GMT Master II correctly?

[htrap2294]

Hello all,

I may need some help - perhaps I am a little stupid. This is my first GMT, so still getting used to it (126710BLRO).

To my understanding, you set the reference hand (Triangle shaped hand?) to GMT time. The minute hand and second should also by sync'd and set during this stage.

From there, you set up the hour hand (local time) to the time where you are currently.

Now, the watch is displaying both GMT time and your local time (PST in my case).

From there, you rotate the bezel forwards or backwards based on the offset? For example, I should rotate the bezel -5 hours for EST or +4 hours for Dubai? However, when I check the reference hand (Triangle Hand) against the bezel, the time is completely incorrect from what Google is telling me.

What am I doing wrong here?
