psantos1091 0 Posted October 17, 2017 For any of you who've had a Panerai with a GMT function... How do I set that hand? Lol it's my first GMT and I'm scared to damage the movement. One click out, independent hour hand/date, two clicks out and I can adjust the time. Is there a third? I had stripped a previous crown before and I'm trying to avoid that..

Left Coast Guy 24 Posted October 17, 2017 You've got it right -- 1st position is Date/GMT, where Date is one direction and GMT is the other on the crown, then 2nd position is time. I've yet to own a mechanical watch with a 3rd position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've yet to own a mechanical watch with a 3rd position. But in the first position, only the hour hand moves. So if I move it clockwise, it'll advance and the other direction will just make the hour hand go back an hour. So to change the date I have to go passed 12 twice and reverse direction to change the date back but the GMT stays in the same position. I can cover it with the hour hand and move them together in the second position but .......... Nevermind lol it just clicked in my head. I have to set the GMT with the second position and then use the first position to change the standard hour. Niiiice lol love this thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
