Here's a link to a youtube video on how to set a Rolex GMT:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5YcVNJLQ2s

Simply copy everything after the v= (in this case W5YcVNJLQ2s) and surround it with {yt} and {/yt} - only use the lower case block brackets (to the right of the "P" key).

It will only be visible if your browser is not in HTTPS mode. For this reason when I embed a video I also provide the complete link so anyone accessing the site in https mode can click the link. Otherwise they just get a blank space where the video would be.

And here it is:

I just noticed I'm logged in with the S which I never was before?

Tried to clear the cache and passwords but it doesn't help.
