GMT Master II Gen function

Recommended Posts

WatchMe007

I recently received a "Pro Hunter" GMT Master II I ordered from a non trusted dealer before I found this place.

 

A Gen GMT allows you to set the hour and 24 hour hands independently. My rep, sadly, does not. I might do a demo video because I am pretty sure my Gen Explorer II allows the hour hand to move independently.

 

My new rep only does the following:

 

Unscrew to access winding position. First click out to do the date. Next position adjusts the minute and hour hands. It appears that the is no way to set the 24 hour hand, which means that close examination shows I don't know how to properly set the watch. LOL. Any tips?

 

Is there a GMT rep that provides the Gen function?

 

What does this say about the movement that is inside my rep?

 

Guys, this is the last "noob purchase" story...I promise. Looking to get a BK DSSD as we speak.money interested in Super Reps moving forward.

my GMTiiC allows for independent setting while in the first click position. turning the crown one direction advances the date while turning in the opposite direction allows for gmt hand setting...try it and let us know.

I have the Timesshop one and it's great. GMT moves independently as the others have described.

On my wife's gen 16710 you can't set the GMT hand but the hour hand. It jumps from hour to hour.

But you can't set the date, and that's sometimes a pita :)

I'll try when I get home from biz trip.

 

Just ordered a BK DSSD, BTW. The anticipation will be relished.

In the Gen GMT, the first click allows to set the date using the hour hand and allows to set the GMT hour. The GMT hand is not indip. adjustable.
