Use of GMT for 3 time zones: does anyone know how to find out whether the current hour hand is on am or pm if the GMT is adjusted to real GMT time and the bezel is adjusted to 3rd time zone? I think this is where to actual hour hand does not really make sense and the "Purist" version without GMT hand is more practical: actual location on 24-h scale and bezel for instant at GMT or any 2nd time zone... And just found out that there's a GA version of the Base 22 which the hour hand rotates once every 24 hours and that with an extra GMT hand: basically the hour hand and the GMT is swapped there

Tony48307You can't do that with the ⌚ because it lacks a 🌞🌛 indicator. Or the local 2️⃣4️⃣ hours 🖐🏻 as you . out.
However, except if you're at the North Pole, the best approach is just to look out the window...

MarPablThanks for your advice. Appreciate that :)
I see you could secure one copy of the Maurice Lacroix Moon Phase watch. Congratulation belated!
I'm interested into watches with ETA Valjoux 7751 myself so I have a question: later production date movement has implemented a column wheel that makes actuation of start/stop/reset buttons easier.
Does your copy of the Maurice Lacroix has a column wheel? Or do you have any concern / difficulty using the start/stop/reset buttons? I'm trying to figure out whether these latest "column wheels" are a must for an automatic chronograph.
Thanks in advance for sharing!
Best regards

Tony48307AFAIK Valjoux has always been cam operated. There's only one column wheel modification which is exclusive for Longines: https://watchbase.com/longines/caliber/l688-2 and then for Omega https://watchbase.com/omega/caliber/3330
I have on Longines with column wheel as well, and I don't really feel any noticeable difference with the pushers action 😅 Indeed I also have a (bargain) Bulova Accuswiss with a Valjoux and that one is the smoothest one of all my chronographs.
So don't worry, grab a Valjoux or the Longines if you're after the column wheel variation. The feeling will be great on all ✅
