Just wondering how many people actually use the green GMT hand on their GMT Rolex... I tried on of these on before and loved it. Currently, I am in the market for a Sub-C but I fell the GMT would definitley be my next choice. Love the polished center links and the bezel!

sleddog · 2 December 2010, 02:21 PM

I use it all the time.....!

I have it synced to my parents time in AUS....Good to know so I don't wake em' up with a phone call in the middle of the night!

hennabav · 2 December 2010, 02:22 PM

I set it and forget it! Never have any need to use it.

Speed · 2 December 2010, 02:23 PM

I use it whenever I travel to a new timezone!

RolexguyinSF · 2 December 2010, 02:31 PM

I've traveled to other time zones, and still haven't used the other hand. BUT I do love the watch!

Singslinger · 2 December 2010, 02:32 PM

Hardly ever use the GMT hand on my 16760 or PAM0029. Still, it's nice to know it's there if ever I do need it!

renfield33 · 2 December 2010, 02:32 PM

ingoodtime · 2 December 2010, 02:33 PM

I second that! When I had a GMT it was always set to Sydney time...

A great tool for weekly international conference calls.

Frankie13 · 2 December 2010, 02:57 PM

My GMT is set on German time since all of my family lives overseas.

niner niner seven · 2 December 2010, 02:59 PM

here here

why wouldnt you use it?

WARVET · 2 December 2010, 03:00 PM

Everyday at work in Flight service, Zulu time is always used in aviation to prevent confusion

Or for cooking eggs and working out!

dooder202 · 2 December 2010, 03:13 PM

So how exactly does it work? It just follows exactly behind the hour Hans but a few hours back?

sleddog · 2 December 2010, 03:20 PM

It does not follow the hour hand persay...
The 24 hour hand is exactly that...It rotates around the dial only once in a 24 hour period!(following the bezel numbers)
Where as the hour hand makes two full revolutions in 24 hours(following the dial numbers). As in 12 am to 12 pm,12pm to 12 am.

dsio · 2 December 2010, 03:48 PM

If you set it to local time it comes in handy after a big night out because the following Monday, if its 8AM you know to go to work, while if its 8PM you know to look for a new job.

I do the same.

Texican · 2 December 2010, 06:50 PM

I work outside the US, so I have the 24 hour hand set to "home" time, and the 12 hour hand set to the time zone where I'm at.

dddrees · 2 December 2010, 06:54 PM

I work for a company in a different time zone and I refer to it every once in a while.

esm · 2 December 2010, 07:38 PM

With family members and friends all over the world, it is unfair for me to target an individual to hassle by using the GMT hand....

So I have multiple world time setup in the iPhone

(in all seriousness - it isn't difficult to work out the time in your head really... Australia is 11 hours ahead and Greece is 2 hours ahead of The UK... these are the 2 countries we call regularly

)

Well I would say the GMTs a little bit more that what the Sub and all diving watches are used underwater.

ibramr · 2 December 2010, 09:21 PM

The GMT hand is very useful as I have to synch with several workgroups in three time zones to the east in Europe and the Middle East.

HL65 · 2 December 2010, 09:24 PM

I keep it set on GMT and leave there when wearing one.

nauticajoe · 2 December 2010, 09:59 PM

I use it all the time; I deal with London daily.
