Crown test? What do I need to do? (I am still a Rolex newbie). Thanks.

The new GMT doesn't sing to me in the same way the Pepsi or Coke do. Great choice of watch.

If one turn of the crown turns the hour hand by 8 hours rather than 6 (I think), you have the new movement.

Fantastic watch. Mine was born a Pepsi on an Oyster bracelet but currently it's sporting a Coke on a Jubilee bracelet. Like you say, several watches in one. Can't go wrong.
