You have zero knowledge of high end watches. LOL

Gotta look it up homie. Everyone has the combined knowledge of all human existence in the palm of their hand. Some watches (Ball) actually have a map on the back of the watch with all 24 principal offsets.

Yes, Bezel rotation is for a foreign city time with the UTC time difference. GMT hand is not. We must remember the UTC time difference of my home. New York is UTC: -4 and Europe is UTC:+1. When we set the GMT hand first, just rotate the bezel and set the Bezel number corresponding to the UTC difference in our city to be at the 12 o'clock position and set the GMT hand meet to Bezel number corresponding to local time hours (before summertime) in the 24-hour system, then recover the bezel rotation so the inverted white triangle to be at the 12 o'clock position. To find out the time abroad, just rotate the bezel number corresponding to the UTC difference of the foreign city to be 12 o'clock position and if the summertime is applied, just rotate 1 step counterclockwise more then read the bezel number pointed by GMT hand as the hour of the foreign city.

I also sit to GMT time for my 24h hand, just remember when using the bezel to tell time in different time zones take in account of DST.

They already are

It displays two time zones plus you can calculate the 3rd zone by just rotating the bezel.

You can’t do three at the same time. Doing The third time zone means that it isn’t referencing the first two that you set up. You can only do two at the same time.

@@TommyRibs it does do 3. You just have to remember the numbers on the bezel, which shouldn’t be too hard…

@@jiggy734 You give me WAYYYY to much credit my friend 😃

The gmt hand is pointing to the number on the bezel and the number that should be there if the bezel was at origin two different zones right there plus the hour hand makes 3

I am also looking for this answer. India time difference is 4.5 hours.

Can’t help. That’s a limitation of Rolex’s design. Just gotta go gmt plus 5 and then add 30 minutes yourself.

In this case yes, but at 4:20 in the video for example we can imagine the time of Abu Dhabi 19h:31m or 7:31pm (24-hour hand against the graduations on the dial) then Sydney 00h:31m (hour hand), London 15h:31m (24-hour hand against the graduations on the bezel).

@@cavanon yea but it's not a practical example. I don't want to know Abu Dhabi's time 😆 so the "third" timezone is not "customizable" I guess, you just end up with it...

And when You know the third time zone is 5 hour behind, I guess you can simply deduct 5 hours from your current time which is faster than doing the maths on the bezel. The third way to show time zone on this watch is meaningless, if not nonsense.

​@@cavanonthis is wrong you can't use the gmt hand to read time against the 12 hour indices because the gmt hand moves half as fast as the hour hand. You only can get a 3rd time zone when the bezel is rotated and not at its origin which in your example it is and so there is only two time zones

Swabi Khan pleasure buddy, glad you enjoyed it.

You can definitely use a GMT to display 3 timezones - 1) set your GMT hand in conjunction with your local time, 2) use the indices on the face to essentially play the role of replacing the GMT bezel (ie double the value of the indice on the dial), 3) set your gmt bezel to reflect the time of the third timezone in conjunction with the GMT hand. I live in South Africa (23:35, and I have family in Kansas (16:35), and Melbourne (7:35). Works like a charm

Yes even rolex brochure says when you turn bezel you lose reference time zone. Meaning only two possible.. I'll watch and read comment below though.

KempAviation777 Agreed. Essentially only 2 time zones

Of course temporarily 3 time zones but only two at the same time.

Obviously it can only display 2 time zones at once because it only has two separate hour hands (local time and reference time). By altering the bezel you display the 3rd time

XX MING yes you can

Doug M that’s a fair point, thanks Doug.

Coffee Fanatic thanks buddy

Mark Saberi it’s not possible to read between 0.5 and full hour time zones, only 0.5 & 0.5 or full hour & full hour

Which US time zones have half hour increments? Are you referring to pre 1883 when every city has an unique local time?

David Ler thanks, hope you enjoyed it

TK Mattoo thanks for your kind words buddy, glad you found the video useful

No, it clicks at hour intervals as it’s a GMT so serves a different purpose to a sub

Thanks for the feedback, it’s much appreciated. The way the function is intended to be used is to set the GMT hand to your ‘home’ time. So this means if you’re in NYC now you’d set the GMT hand to line up with 16 on the bezel, and set the time to be 16:00 using the hour and minute hands. That way both home and current time are set to 4pm (make sure the date is set to pm as shown in the video. The GMT hand then doesn’t need to be changed again. When you move to a different time zone, you move the jump hour hand forwards or backwards to whatever time zone you’re moving to. So if you can to London, you’d move the hour hand forward by 5 hours to show the time on the hour hand at 9pm (London time) and time on the GMT hand as 4pm (NYC time). Hope that makes sense

Great try , but I'm a college dropout lol. So right now I have the GMT hand set on 4, and using that point and putting the white triangle on that hand if I plus or minus I thought I was getting the right time in other locations, but your saying set to the current military time on the bezel for NYC and then put white triangle there as a plus or minus starting point for other time zones, Sorry I am really confused lolol. I am using the same watch as in the video. Thanks again, I guess today is a slow day for me.

White triangle stays at 12 o’clock (only use it if you need a third time zone) GMT hand set to 16 on the bezel (8 o’clock hour marker) Hour hand set to 4 hour marker for 4pm. Does that make sense?

It's starting too, I will set it now like you said. So if I travel to the Philippines after I do what you are saying , where do I plus or minus from, is the jump hand the hour hand? thanks so much

You’d leave the GmT hand where it is (so you could read the time in NYC from this) and move the hour hand forward 12 hours, so that the current time moves from 4pm to 4am the next day (you’ll see the date change as this will reflect time in the timezone where you are, ie in the Philippines)

Thanks for your kind words Miguel
