I love my SBGE257, but decided to not even use the GMT hand to track a second time zone anymore due to the fixed bezel (I can’t make up my mind on what second time zone to track and it’s not easy changing the GMT hand as it goes with the minutes). I see the fixed bezel on the SBGE257 like the Explorer II, where the “GMT hand” is just to track day/night at the 24 hour scale.
Yeah, the SBGE257 isn't a valid example of what I meant if the bezel doesn't rotate. My mistake. The other one will do four time zones though.

Doesn't the SBGE257 hour hand set independently of the GMT hand, though, like the Rolex Explorer II? I thought it had a jump hour hand like the Rolex, so you just set the hour hand to your destination, and keep the GMT hand (and minute hand) where it is to see the time back home.
