at least on the Autavias, the bezel can be rotated so that the GMT hand will track a second time zone . . . no such luck on the Lemania 5100s / Omegas.

in response to a question that I received a few days ago, and in order to tie this discussion back to the Heuers, let me point out that the Autavia GMTs have this same limitation / problem -- the GMT hand is "fixed" to the main time-of-day, and cannot be set to a second time zone.
