Reasonable. I was just giving myself a little hope that I can swap this vsf movement with a new one whenever a factory improved the GMT function.
Actually, if no am/pm indicator is present on the dial (some PAMs have it), the 24h GMT is more useful than 12h GMT. It's not gen-like, but I'm starting to like it the way it is.
That actually makes sense as you can tell on a 24hr gmt if its pm or not. In 12hr not indication really, unless you know that if your local time is am or pm, and what the other timezone should be.

Hmmm im with on mysterio with this one. There are a dozen other "tells" on these, and virtually every other good pam rep before you get to the gmt. Anyone who knows to look for the 24hr gmt has already spotted your CG pin. Your incorrectly shaped CG lever. Your incorrect font. Your incorrect crystal AR. You CP. Your too green lume...
Where as most people just think nice watch.
You really think if it was simple to do 12hr gmt the factories wouldnt have done it already? Try building yourself a 7750 movement. I didnt find anything simple about that process.
Its a rep. Theres no shame in that. Just enjoy it because you like nice watches. I wear my gens and reps interchangably.

depends how far you travel
I find the 12h GMT cleaner and closer to the panerai dnadepends how far you travel
The 12hr GMT is cleaner although I presume the Panerai DNA statement has something to do with the look being cleaner. The first Panerai did not have any complications, most especially a GMT function.
Beautiful. so it requires me to remember those marks on the bezel when wearing a 441. lolThe beautiful 029 for example.
Well not really. One lap of the gmt would indicate 24 hrs. So if the gmt hand is at 6, that would indicate 12pm. If it's in between two numbers it will be a bit guesswork, like if it's between 6 and 7 that would be 1pm

The convenience of 12 hour GMT is that (IMHO) quick look at the dial gives you all the information.
You don't have to make any calculations to know the time in the second time zone.

Yea that's one drawback. But you only have to multiply by 2 hehe
I would still orefer 12hr gmt as gen, but i guess the 441 just looks too sexy.

I own 438 but never have used GMT because of its inconvenience.

That's probably why the 24 hr GMTs have labels, because on 12 hr GMTs you won't need to have another set.

here's a nice short video on how to adjust the GMT hand on the VSF441... I think this question pops up from time to time by possible buyers:
