Fred, that's an amazing collection.

For me though, there's only one GMT that can rule all others and that's the 233. Domed crystal, 1950 case, date, gmt, PR, exhibition case back, and 44m (perfect for my wrist size) :D

does this have gen movement behaviour with jumping gmt hand per hour? can you hide GMT hand behind "local hand"?
Not sure what you mean: it is a 24 hour gmt so it moves slower then the hour hand

Wait, all of those are reps? Haha just goes to show how well made they are. It didn't occur to me that we're just talking about reps at this stage. :)

probably I'm gonna sound like completely noob, but still after a while I don't know why 24h GMT hour hand is moving slower than hour hand.

Here is mine






My first Pam, and for shure not the last.

Lovely piece!!!!!! Finally flushed CP though it's a lil recessed. Better than previous versions. I guess this is the KW version? Which TD did u get it bro? If only the markers on the subdial were correct then it'd be perfect!!!!! Wear it in good health!! :)

It moves slower because it does a full turn in 24 hours, not 12 like the hour hand.

So how can I read exact time in other time zone when GMT hour hand is moving by half an hour per regular hour.

You use the numerals on the edge of the dial to read the time in the GMT hand.

The GMT hand moves at half the speed, hence the numerals are marked in 24 hours

Check here at 3:25

On this watch the GMT time (or 2nd time zone) shows exactly 18h28. Local time is either 01h28 or 13h28 depending if it´s day or night. Best way to set it is:

1. You set local time to exactly the full hour it is (minute hand at 12) 2. You set the GMT time (the time zone You want) to the full hour it is. You advance the minute hand to the exact time it is and press the cg lever to start the seconds running; from here onwards everything is connected and fixed. If someday You want to change the 2nd time zone best do it at the full hour.

The longer markers are from the rep, I think you mean to say the other way round
