What model is the Carrera featured in that video? That’s a lovely looking watch. A re-issue of that I’d happily part with some hard earned.

Finding a good IWC Flieger 3706 T dial with bracelet is highest on my list now. But another watch might come in between as it has a few times already.

Congrats!

GMT is just an ‘extra’ hour hand. You move it back or forward a number of hours depending on the time difference between your ‘home’ time zone and where you’re travelling to or want to track time at.

But, i can only set it per half and hour. Is it normal ?

Nice one Otto! Got that on my "one day I must have it list"
Thanks. Was torn between this and black phantom but already commit another piece on april so it will be a bit risky to take more expensive one at this time. But really, this pepsi dial is good in my personal opinion

Hi Otto. Congrats on your new purchase, very nice! I found the best way to set the GMT is to put the standard hands to an hour and then set the GMT also to an hour depending on if you're using it as a GMT or a 24hr hand, and then readjust the standard hands to the correct time.

I watched several video on youtube now i am starting to get the grasp of it.

At least now i know for the base you look at the bezel. And it's base on 24 hours marking.

Now everything starting to make sense 😉

Yes, hence the 24 hour markings on the outside bezel. The dual tone represents night vs daylight hours. Welcome to the GMT Club!

GMT rookie, reporting for duty 😉

This aquaracer is lit ::stirthepot::, really satisfied by this purchase. By the way, the turning of the crown and everything is the smoothest i ever felt.

I got asked my first "is that rolex?" Question today by my co worker.

That was fast. Only on the 2nd day. ::facepalm1::

Hahaha. Still love this one though.
