Newbie question regarding GMT vs GMT 2

My apologies for the newbie question. It is in regards to reading time zones with the original GMT.

If I set the regular hands to 2pm ..... is the GMT dial AUTOMATICALLY set to 14 and I read the second time zone via the bezel ?

On the GMT Master, the hands are synced and so they always have the same relationship.

Dial hour hand at 2pm and the 24 hr hand will be at 1400 because it represents 24hr time.

If you want to "see" a different time zone, you rotate the bezel either plus or minus the number of hours this new zone is from you. You can now see what the time is in this new zone as long as the bezel remains at that position, and you are reading with the 24 hr hand/bezel.
