GMT 16750/1675 Setting?

Just got my GMT back from the watchmaker. I recently purchased my first vintage GMT. Can anyone can help explain how to set it. I am used to setting the free GMT hand of the GMTIIC.


Thanks in advance.

The MASTER series GMT hands are synced together. Set the 12 hour hand to local time. With the bezel insert in the normal position you will read home time in a 24 hr. format. To set a second timezone rotate the bezel and read the second zone off the 24 hr. hand.
