I keep my GMT for New York time so I know when Kyle L wakes up

No, New York time to know when the Stock Market Exchange over there starts.

Awesome watch.

It is currently the only Rolex I own, this will change when the new SS Sub comes out....

But yeah, the GMT IIc is just pure class. Excellent piece of engineering.

Once again my TRF friends, a sincere thank you for all the compliments!!! She is safe on my wrist as I lay here typing this post!! I just figured out the little extension device which really is cool as my wrist tends to get larger as the day progresses??? Sorry I do not know the proper term for it but "little extension device" seemed appropriate!! :)

That would be the 'Easylink' but we can call it 'LED'

Congrats again Matt


Cheers

Congrats!!! My Classic Pepsi GMT ll salutes your Ceramic!
I Do not see the point to put it on "Zulu"/UTC/GMT time unless you are a pilot at work or carrying out a military/maritime operation...or going to England!!!!!!

Set it at your home time and visiting destination time,with whichever hand suits you best!!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Congratulations. Yes, set the green hand to local military time and the hour hand to local time. Then when you travel, pull the crown to position 2, and set the hour hand to the new local time

Mine says hello and welcome to the club.
