Congrats on the bluesy! Beautiful watch. Also - love your TT GMT II as well. To me that's one of the few professional line watches I actually like in TT and you don't see them around all too often.

Fyi, a super-easy way to track time in another time zone is to simply leave your 12-hr and 24-hr hands permanently set to your current home-residence time, and then adjust the bezel (counter-clockwise for traveling east and clockwise for traveling west), by the number of clicks representing the number of hours difference between your home and destination time zones. I.E., if you're flying from Miami to LA, move the bezel clockwise 'three clicks' (reflecting the three-hour difference) so that '21-hr' bezel marker at the top of the dial, view the number on the bezel that the 24-hr hand is pointing to, and you have your time in the destination time zone. And you never have to adjust your 12hr or 24hr hour hands ever again when traveling (just the bezel), and it is still crazy-easy to monitor the time in 2 time zones.

In this example, my home is in the central time zone, and I'm traveling to the eastern time zone. So, I move the bezel 'counterclockwise' 1 hour (so that the 1-hr marker is at the top of the dial), and I keep the 12 & 24 hour hands set to my home time. Now I simply look at the 24 hour hand and note that it is 15 minutes after 11 a.m. in the east, and I look at the regular hour & minute hands and see that it is 15 minutes after 10 a.m. in the central. Easy peasy, lol.


In this example, I've moved the bezel clockwise 2 clicks (reflecting the 2-hr difference between Central and Pacific times) so that the 22-hr marker is at the top. I look at my watch and see that it is 43 mins past 10 a.m. in my home time, and 43 mins past 8 a.m. in the Pacific time zone. Couldn't be easier. Regards, -rick.
Thanks

Such a beautiful watch with the blue sunburst dial! I’d take the Sub or GMT with a blue dial anyday.
