Daylight Saving Time

Here in the UK we woke to British Summer Time (BST) where the clocks move forward one hour from GMT. I've only had my BLNR since November last year so not had this dilemma before...

Do I leave the GMT hand on GMT or do I move it to BST?

I would move it too ( I did) , especially that it is sooooo nice to move the hour hand when you have a GMT - Master II :-)

I always left my hour hand on Zulu (UTC) and found this useful when travelling

I think moving it to BST will work best for me.

I'm now the proud owned of a Rolex BST Master II BLNR. Well, for the next 6 months I am...

Seems like we need a larger committee to solve this one, heh?

I set the GMT hand to GMT. I've seen some people using the GMT Master as if it were an Explorer II which I don't get. You can do more with the rotating bezel!

Ugh. I hate these time changes. Just leave the dam time alone. We have headlights and flash lights now.

I keep th 24 hour hand on my home time (whether it be summer or winter). I find this most useful when traveling.
