I will need to find the manual if I ever want to change the GMT hand.
To set the GMT hand use the 3rd stop to set it to local, or UTC, whatever zone you prefer. You can't jump or set the GMT hand independently. Then use the 2nd stop to set the hour hand to the 2nd time zone. The bezel can be rotated for a 3rd time zone if you like. It sets exactly the same way as my GMT Master ll which makes it easy for me. I keep the GMT hand set to my home time and jump the hour hand to whatever the local time is. Also to set the date you can just rotate the hour hand while it is running to preserve accuracy.

This watch is one tough, good looking performer. It has been my beater for 12 years. Fishing, boating, diving, working in the yard, the office, remodeling the kitchen, and my kids' weddings. It looks great with a suit/Tux sleeve or covered in fish guts. Mine is off at Nesbit's spa and dude ranch for R+R. I eagerly await it's return.
