Thanks to good info/advice from John, and of course all the incredibly informative posts on this forum...I am now the proud owner of my first Omega, a White Face GMT! Unfortunately, the operation "book" that came with it does a poor job, IMO, of explaining how to set the hands to utilize the GMT hand. I live in Florida, and travel to see my family and friends in Arizona frequently. Can I set the time so the standard hour hand shows Eastern Time, and the GMT hand shows Mountain? I don't understand how to use it looking at the 24-hour markings. Help!
