Does anybody know how to set the GMT hand on the GS SBGN 003, 005, 007 with the 9F86 movement? I have the manual and it talks about setting the hour hand independently....neat. And it talks about setting the watch but nothing tells how to move that darned GMT hand.

I don't have one in front of me, but generally the 24 hour hand moves with any setting of the time.

It is the hour hand that is then set independently

That sounds like what they are trying to say in the manual. So you move the settings until the GMT hand gets where you want it. Set the watch to the second and restart it. Then pull out to the first click and that enables you to move the hour hand without changing anything else. I will try it.

PS: Thank you that worked. As I am not traveling now, I am setting the watch a bit backwards. Rather than keep the GMT hand on local and moving the hour time to a non local time where I might be, I am keeping the hour/min/sec time on local where I am and setting the GMT hand to London where I occasionally want to know the time there.

Nothing wrong with that.

The watch is intended to be a useful tool for you, and not some preconceived rendition commonly shouted on forums. :)
