NAWCC - Space Travel - The Concept Watch
This thread could have been called a 'fascinating find' because one never knows what you may turn up while researching timepieces.To-day a very pleasant young lady, came into the museum library, looking for advice on a wristwatch, some of you may know that for a 'non' member there is only a very small charge to use the facilities (free if you paid for museum).There you can use reference books or indeed gain help from the curators.Being a wristwatch question I was asked in this case to see if I could help.

Side note: My (very orange) 44 Novelty is on the way and I've been living in this subsection of the forum

Proper Setting of GMT Function
While I feel like a complete newbie on this I cannot seem to get a grip on the setting of the GMT function on my new to me Great White. I generally only travel through US time zones and live in EST. Perhaps one of the esteemed board members can thump me on the head with something to make it clear to me, or not.My assumption is when set, the GMT hand and hour hand move in unison. I must have not set properly because this is not the case for me.
