Ok so hopefully I will just get made fun of for the rest of my life because there is a simple explanation to this but I have to ask. Someone pointed out to me that the 24hr hand isn't pointing at the correct number.

How I could of missed this and not asked the person selling it is well yea enough said

Zirotti · 13 February 2010, 04:00 PM

I'm confused. You can adjust the GMT hand...

djhiram · 13 February 2010, 04:02 PM

The pros should be along shortly but to me the watch looks ok. I think that past a certain serial number you could adjust the second time zone to show the hour of your choice... (if that makes sense?

) Sorry it's late and i'm not as articulate as I normally am when i'm tired

Thats what I thought but someone was telling me that you can't just adjust that one hand, etc.

Thanks Jason, that's what I meant to say

kizerman · 13 February 2010, 04:09 PM

It's purpose is to be set to whatever time you want. Do you have a manual?

Tell said person to find a different dealer. They're buying bad crack.

If you pull the crown to the second position (the first being the winding position) you should be able to move the 12-hour hand separately. Pull the crown to the 3rd position, set the 24-hour hand, minute hand, and second hand, and then put it in the 2nd position and set the 12-hour hand and date.

Setting the second time zone is a trick all in its self. My suggestion once you get the watch is to have the nearest AD that has someone that knows what they're doing show you. I speak from sad experience.

Sorry didn't mean it to come out that way. I appreciate your input 100%!

The "friend" that needs to keep their opinions to themself is the one that has been trying to convince me that there is something wrong with the watch. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Posted this on your other thread but here it is again....

The watch pictured is set to show two time zones, 3 hours apart....the red 24 hour hand shows just after 13:05:44....the normal hour hand indicates 10:05:44....if it were my watch (the way I choose to use it) then this would indicate I was away from home, in an area 3 hours behind my home time....

By the way....an excellent choice....had mine around 5 months......taking most of the wrist time since it came back from Bexley

Thank you for posting in both places I think I was just a bit more jumpy than I should of been this being my first purchase from an online forum.

Nice Explorer.

escudoturbo · 13 February 2010, 08:51 PM

You will find you need to use the 'jump hour' hand to set the date too - there is no quick set feature.

dalip · 13 February 2010, 09:31 PM

great watch: enjoy!!!!

Puffy · 13 February 2010, 09:35 PM

Once you work out how to set the red hour hand you'll love this. Been wearing mine all week

Tools · 13 February 2010, 11:45 PM

Great watch... Looks fine..

When you get it, pull the stem all the way out and set the red hand to your home time using the 24 hr bezeland the minute hand to the correct minutes...... Then, push it in a notch and "jump" the hour hand around to show the proper date, anen once again to show the same time on the regular dial as the 24 hour hand shows.....

Now you are set up to do whatever you want with it... I suggest that you just enjoy one of the most versatile watches in the line-up for a while.........

mike · 14 February 2010, 12:11 AM

Nice catch.

HL65 · 14 February 2010, 12:21 AM

GMT --set to GMT time--reset--it is fine!!!!

Best easy to understand explanation on the planet !

VetteBandit · 14 February 2010, 12:53 AM

Congrats on the new watch.....as said before, but in a different way, both the 24hr hand hour hand can move independently.....otherwise you would have real issues if you let the watch sit / run down.

Great choice with the white face!

R S · 14 February 2010, 01:03 AM

Don't think there is a problem with the watch, and if it's the one I think it from the FS section you got a great deal. RS
