Lining up a GMT hand with an hour hand on a clone 2836 is quite challenging. With GMT reps there are 4 hands and extra gears and there's play in the gears (lead and lag) so you press the hands on at 12:00 AM and wind the hands around and they're off a little so you remove and repress them and then the GMT hand or the hour hand is off, etc. and everytime you remove and re-press the hands there's risk of damage to the dial or the hands. So the priority is to get the hands all synched up and the GMT hand to jump to the correct hour markers when the minute hand is at 12 o'clock. If you get that part accomplished and the date change is close, it's best to leave well enough alone.

Also, the GMT hand will snap ahead about the distance you show it off here when the date changes so if that pic is pre-date change, everything is good. The ICHS reps use the exact same jump click spring found in the 2824 CHS timebombs which makes it annoying as hell trying to get the GMT hand to point exactly at an hour marker when the minute hand is at 12 o'clock. I simply removed one of those jump clicks and now the GMT hand moves continuously rather than discreetly in one hour jumps on the 24 hour bezel. This is a much better arrangement IMO and I will be removing all of mine as they are serviced. This also highlights the fact that there are no ill effects of the jump click spring breaking on the ICHS movement. It's a benefit instead IMO.
