Getting To Know The Place
The gmt hand is adjustable, on the gen movement the hour hand can jump forward and backward as well.
Right right and it can do so independant from the GMT hand. There is definitly a convenience factor to this. But then again, on the gen i believe there is no quick set date right?? I think my Brother in law was telling me that his Gen Explorer II doesnt have that.
In any case i just placed an order for this watch for him, QC looked great. Will try to take a few pics when i finally see it in real life.
Oyy more advice needed. Chill out man. You will wind up getting tossed or placed into the brig. Your a noobie, you said some silly stuff, and people responded the same way. Just drop it or things will get worse.
Solid advice, Cadows this is a forum FULL of information...but just like a library, you have to go down the aisles and find the information you're looking for. There are stickies to help you navigate and learn, and theres a search bar to help you pull up what you want to learn about. Trust me, whatever you want to know is here. ICHS and CHS have been discussed ad nauseum for example.
What you will also find is that by reading what's already been posted...you'll undoubtedly expand your knowledge base. People come on here to find out what the best sub is, and end up IWC junkies.
You're free to ask whatever question you want, obviously. But the questions that noobs tend to post up about topics that have been discussed lengthily before usually end up eliciting some sarcastic and trial-by-fire responses from the more seasoned members. You may think some of the responses here are mean or unwelcoming, but trust me....this is child's play compared to what I've seen other members do.
The best advice you will ever get on this forum, and you will get it over and over again, is to search and read what's already here.
Lastly, you've got to respect the community if you want to be a part of it. Yes, some comments are a little harsh, but if you escalate them then you're liable to get banned or brigged as mentioned earlier.
Good luck, and welcome.
The GMT hand is not independently adjustable on the gen - the hour hand is. Most "true" GMT movements are this way, whereas ETA based ones do the independent GMT hand.
Independent GMT hand works like this: one crown position moves gmt hand & date, another moves GMT+HR+MINUTE. Good for tracking a second time zone from home using the GMT hand. Messy when you travel because you have to reset the entire time to the new time zone, then backtrack the GMT hand to your home time.
Independent hour hand works like this: one crown position jumps hour hand back and forth in 1 hour increments, another moves GMT+HR+MINUTE. Good for traveling, because assuming you had GMT + Hour set to home time when you left, upon arrival all you do is jump the hour forward or back to the local time, and it doesn't disturb the minute hand or the GMT hand which remains set to your "home" time zone. Much faster.
A lot of newer movements that aren't even GMT/2 time zone ones do the jump hour now because it's great for traveling (Panerai and Omega are big on this nowadays) because you can quickly swap time zones without disturbing the minute hand and having to go through hack->reset->wait for next minute to catch up. You just jump the hours forward or back and go.
Correct, quick hour/jump hour movements don't have quickset date - you have to jump around 24 hours to change the date. It's a pain if you have multiple watches and no winder so you trade that vs the nice traveler functionality.

I'm not blocking you, you're way too entertaining. Are you Hanshildorf/Bigballs8 in disguise?
Thank you for your advices. Subject about CSH came up suddenly. Other than that, i sign up in this forum dont know when and dont know why, i googled smt about Tudor the other day and this site showed up. I wouldnt even know my login info if my iPhone didnt remember it. I give respect if i receive respect. Those assholes acted like they are rocket scientist and not some group of prople who knows smt about pocket change watches. They know stuff about chinese toys wow give them award. Anyway i thank you who were polite. I dont have access to lot of stuff here anyway.
