Crown Positions on a GMT 2

When I unscrew the crown on my GMT I'm guessing first position is wind second would be Hour and third would be minutes ?
Is there an easy way to set the date ? (Quick set) ?
Thanks

Did you try moving the hour hand backwards or forwards in the second position to adjust the date?

IIRC, first position is wind, second is GMT hand and date, and third is hour and mins.

There is no quickset on a GMT II.

The 3rd position is to set the 24 hr hand and minutes and these should be set first.

2nd position is to jump the hour hand to: 1. set the date (in either direction), then 2. set to proper time.

1st position is to wind.
