Many people have had a GMT-Master for years without ever turning the bezel and having absolutely no idea what it’s for. In this article, we will clearly explain the functions of that bezel. Whether you are a newcomer to replica watches and a collector who has worn replica watches for years without fully grasping their functions, you will master every function of the Rolex GMT-Master II collection. We will use the Rolex GMT-Master II Batgirl for demonstration as follows.

What Does the GMT Hand Do?
On the Rolex GMT-Master II Batgirl, this hand is a blue triangular arrow pointing to the 24-hour scale on the bezel. Its function is to allow you to track the time in two different time zones simultaneously. For example, you're currently in London, while your girlfriend is away on a business trip in New York. You want to know what time it is in New York, but you don't want to have to calculate the time difference every single time. That's where a GMT hand comes in handy.
How to Set the GMT Hand:
1. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to the first position (Date setting).
2. Set the date to match your current location in London.
3. Pull the crown out to the second position (Stops the seconds hand).
4. Screw the crown to adjust both the minute hand and the GMT hand to the current time in New York.
Note: The GMT hand completes a full rotation every 24 hours, so please make sure to distinguish between the local time in New York (AM) and the local time in New York (PM) when setting it.
5. The GMT hand points to the scale on the bezel which indicates the current time in New York.
How to Use the Blue and Black Bezel?
Regarding the two-colour ceramic bezel on the Rolex GMT-Master II collection, most people don't know how to use it correctly. Officially designated as a bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel that can be turned in both clockwise and counterclockwise. It is unlike the bezel on the Submariner, which rotates in only one direction.
Using the GMT Hand to Track a Third Time Zone
As previously mentioned, the GMT hand allows you to track a second time zone. But what if you need to know the time in a third location? If your GMT hand is already set to London time (GMT+1) and you want to know what time it is in Los Angeles (GMT-7), there is no need to reset any hands and just rotate the bezel.
· Los Angeles is 8 hours behind London.
· Rotate the bezel counterclockwise by 8 scales.
· The position where the GMT hand now points on the bezel scale indicates the current time in Los Angeles.
This function is useful for those who frequently travel or take business trips across different time zones. Once you have set your home time, you can read the time in any other time zone by rotating the bezel.
Used as A Timer
If you do not need to track a third time zone, the bezel can be a simple timer.
For example, if you need to park your car for two hours, just rotate the triangular scale on the bezel until it aligns with the current position of the minute hand. When the minute hand reaches the corresponding point scale on the bezel and your preset time has arrived.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I do if the GMT hand and the minute hand are aligned?
A: The GMT hand completes one full rotation every 24 hours, while the minute hand completes one rotation every hour, so they will frequently align and it is a normal situation and not a watch malfunction
Q: Why does the date change slowly on a replica watch?
A: Rolex GMT-Master II Batgirl replica watch from the VS factory was equipped with the Dandong 3285 movement which features an instantaneous date change mechanism. But please note that the GMT hand and the date display are synchronized and if you inadvertently misadjust the GMT hand, the timing of the date change may become misaligned. Don't worry, just recalibrating the replica watch.
Q: Why does the bezel feel a bit tight when rotating?
A: The damping mechanism on a bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel is intentionally designed to prevent accidental rotation during daily wear and the VS factory has done an excellent job with the damping feel of the replica watch. It offers a distinct and tactile click with each increment.
Q: Why is the GMT hand misaligned?
A: Please check to see if the issue is simply a matter of your viewing angle first. The GMT hand, hour hand, and minute hand are stacked in three distinct layers and viewing them from different angles can create an optical illusion of misalignment. If it is indeed misaligned, this may be an installation issue and you will need a professional to adjust it or the dealer who sold the replica watch to resolve the issue.
Conclusion
The Rolex GMT-Master II collection was originally designed to serve pilots across different time zones. Whether it's a rotatable bezel or an adjustable GMT hand, every function is very practical. But many people wear this watch more for its appearance, while its functionality is often overlooked. But there's nothing wrong with that and the watch is jewelry, so for people who don't really need these functions and personal preference is the most important. However, it wouldn't hurt to learn more about the functions of a replica watch. You never know that when you are on a business trip or traveling and a multi-time zone function you've long forgotten might come in unexpectedly useful.
