AGL 0 Posted July 10, 2011 I'm looking to buy the following watch from WatchInternational. But I don't understand the description where it states that there is a 4th GMT hand with (red half moon)as date pointer... I interpret that as a GMT hand and that it isn't the day/date hand. which means it will move around with the hours? Can somebody more 'in the know' confirm what it actually does? THE WATCH!

It doesn't complete a full sweep every 24 hours, as a GMT hand would. It completes a full sweep every 31 days. The slide rule has numbers from 1-31. The 4th hand will point to whatever number the date it. So today, it would point to number 10. Tomorrow, it would point to number 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AGL 0 Posted July 10, 2011 So the hand they say will be a GMT will actually show todays correct date? I was worried it was just for visuals and served the same purpose as a second hour hand or something! Does anyone know if this watch will skip straight from 30 - 1 on months that only have 30 days or will i need to skip that manually? Thanks Alpha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not beyond the knowledge of man to build a movement that would recognise that it's set to a month that has 31 days, or 28 days, but not for sub $300. Anytime.

Rav747 0 Posted July 17, 2011 I initially got this for myself, but since my dad liked it, I gave it to him. It's a great rep. One of my faves. Mine didn't have a recessed month and day. The ar however is rather blah(light to nonexistent). It's does wear smaller than I thought it would, but it definitely got its deserved attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Briski05 0 Posted February 10, 2013 Guys, If you look closely at the sub dial at 9 it has 2 hands in it. The silver one of these is the GMT hand. Cheers, Brisco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
