Also I do not know how to read it, either. I have been researching on the internet, but I could not find anything except instruction on Rolex GMT watches. Can you tell me how to use the Chaumet GMT watch and how to set up it and read it? I will really appreciate it. Thank you!

Now I can set the 24-hour hand to whatever time it is somewhere else by using the military time. So if it's 3 PM here and GMT time is 6 hours ahead I set the 4th hand past that to 21 on the bezel. I'm a slow learner! Thanks. Allan Got it. Now I can set the 24-hour hand to whatever time it is somewhere else by using the military time.

Zirlin, Can you get all the hands in a line? Meaning Triangle hour hand, regular hour hand and minute hand. Point them all up to 12:00 or 24 hour mark both being the same position, North(Make them North). O.K. now pull the crown out one click and move the small hour hand (regular) untill the date pops to the correct day. Continue by pulling the crown to the second click and set the time as it is were you are. The time is set, one military, one to regular(12 hour). Now if you want a second time zone just pull the crown out one click and move just the hours ahead or behind to that time. Your base time will be the 24 hour rim hence G.M.T. I hope this works for ya. As for the moving bezel it is so that you can get a third time zone for a short duration. Let's tackle that later.CTWG A. Zirlin,

The watch came with no instruction whatever as to the setting and operation of the GMT function. You'd think that a $1,300 Swiss watch would come with a manual of some sort instead of a little card showing how to set the time and date that could be applied to almost any watch. Are you familiar with this watch? And I wish someone could explain in plain English what the rotatable bezel is for in all this. Even the manual for the Rolex GMT Master II is rather vague. Didn't they invent the GMT watch? I have a brand new Marcello C Nettuno GMT. The watch came with no instruction whatever as to the setting and operation of the GMT function.

Tell me the model you are trying to set and I will walk you through step by step. You will see the light I am sure of it. CTWG Each G.M.T. can be a little different.
