Hello, new member, first post.
I received a new GMT ll BLNR with the DD3285 CHS movement yesterday from a TD.
I'm pleased with the transaction and am thoroughly impressed with the quality, fit & finish.
The big problem is when I set the time, or the hour hand and turn the stem/crown clockwise, the hands turn counter-clockwise.
I'm pretty sure they are supposed to turn clockwise, too. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Yes, on the 3rd position, if you rotate the crown away from you it should be clockwise

Mind sharing some pictures and a video?

That is how the genuine 32XX series movements operate. They don't rotate clockwise with the crown turned clockwise like previous Rolex movements, ie 31XX series movements.
