Quick question. I thought the GMT hand should be positioned at your local time. For example, I live in EST. When I travel I can put the local time on my watch using the hour and minute hand. That way it is much easier to set. So I have local time and EST on the "GMT" hand.

Does that make sense? For a traveler like myself it is more useful because I can look to see what time it is at home and know what time it is at my location.
When I first got my 16710, I set the 24 hour hand to GMT time, mostly out of convention.

Somewhere along the line, I just decided to set it to my home time (Eastern), and when I travel I set the hour hand to local time and the 24 hour hand to home time. Makes it easy and functional without turning the bezel.
