It's all in the manual that will come with the watch.

It's very simple. Took me a few minutes to understand what the manual was saying but if you follow that you should be good.

Enjoy it, I just got mine a few weeks ago and I just can't stop looking at it

Set the GMT and minute hand first. Jump the hour hand to set the date. Position the hour hand to the local time you want to display. Enjoy

Is there any difference besides the 24h arrow between the new one and the previous ? I don’t like the orange arrow.

Yes. The GMT hand on the previous few references had a black arrow head with a red stem.

Absolutely love mine and you will too. The date takes some time to set if you don't wear often.

My daily watch and I won several other Rolex. I have found the easiest way for me is to set everything to noon. Than move the hour hand to the right date. Then set the watch to the correct time with the minute hand. it can be tricky at first. Check youtube for visuals. My opinion -best watch in the Rolex vocational market. Easy to read, right size and cool looking. And they aren't everywhere.
