How many of you that currently own and wear a Rolex GMT, regularly use the 24hr hand, timezone function?

tyler1980 · 8 January 2019, 05:38 AM

all the time.

Even with im not traveling i like the 24 hour time scale as it divides my day into quarters. between 12&3 on the inner dial sleep, 3-6 before lunch, 6-9 before dinner, and 9-12 after dinner and bed. Makes the day go by quicker

Dan Pierce · 8 January 2019, 05:46 AM

Everyday as I have coworkers in multiple time zones.

Only when time travelling , but I can only go back or forward 24 years at a time .Just got back from 1995 & there is no such thing as a Rolex waiting list , but recently went to 2043 for a couple of days to check out some ADs & still no sign of any SS sports models

JayHantz · 8 January 2019, 06:05 AM

Constantly. Keep the GMT hand on Zulu (GMT) and based on travel and other needs offset.

I use this more than any chronograph I’ve had.

I'm GMT-free at the moment but did use the bezel to track client calls overseas. I miss the functionality.

So, "all the time" camp for me as well.

Roger Lococco · 8 January 2019, 06:14 AM

All the time. It's by far the most useful complication in my view. And Rolex has by far the best GMT design.

Rashid.bk · 8 January 2019, 06:44 AM

Specifically bought for this reason. Of all the watches I've ever bought this is the one that actually has a usable function. I don't dive or race cars or need chronograph timing but I travel for work so it helps to know what time it is at home.

RichM · 8 January 2019, 06:53 AM

Voted no. It's only used when I travel into another time zone and that ain't that often.

DoctorA · 8 January 2019, 07:07 AM

Occasionally

tie219 · 8 January 2019, 07:16 AM

Not often as of now - after reading the GMT beer counter thread earlier, I think I will be using it a lot more though (the bezel at least)

bmclaurin · 8 January 2019, 07:21 AM

I’ve gotten so accustomed to having and using it that I miss it when I’m not wearing my GMT or Explorer. So I started using the dive bezel on my sub and SD as a rudimentary substitute. Not a perfect solution obviously, particularly as you lose the 24 hour functionality, but still helpful.

Shamorai · 8 January 2019, 08:25 AM

I don’t own a GMT, so I didn’t vote, but I travel OS at least twice a year, and when at home I would leave the GMT hand set to my ‘second home’.
I do use the timing function of my subs bezel several times a day.

Calatrava r · 8 January 2019, 08:26 AM

It is set to local time as a 24 hour timer so I guess its in use all the time.

HogwldFLTR · 8 January 2019, 08:29 AM

Only when traveling (maybe one time a year).

GoingPlaces · 8 January 2019, 08:37 AM

I keep it set to GMT time always. However I only use it when traveling which is a few times a year. I purchased this piece solely for the complication, and of course it wears well and is nice to look at.

I voted no, and then read this ... thanks brother

911SC · 8 January 2019, 08:48 AM

I currently have my Tudor GMT set to +7 Hrs. (Berlin)- one of my favorite cities in the world. Every GMT I’ve owned- BLNR, LN and now my Tudor is set to a 7 hour time difference.

Only when I travel do I use the multiple time zone features.

Steerpike999 · 8 January 2019, 08:50 AM

I use it as a quick reference for the time in our China and Central Europe offices.

Pacc12 · 8 January 2019, 09:32 AM

I also use mine everyday, it is more like a baby to me.

meyers · 8 January 2019, 09:33 AM

Everyday, baby!!

Tony1T · 8 January 2019, 09:41 AM

I only use mine to see if its wine 'o' clock anywhere else in the world

FiftyTwoEighty · 8 January 2019, 09:46 AM

Yes. My office is in one TZ, I live in another TZ, and I have clients in multiple TZs. I'm also flying between TZs often.

I will also use the bezel on my dive watches to set a second zone.

I wouldn't wear a watch with the GMT function if I wasn't going to use it.

The Libertine · 8 January 2019, 10:01 AM

I do not use the function.

SLS · 8 January 2019, 10:44 AM

I voted no, but I do use the function, but nowhere near what I used to when I traveled for work a lot more.
