Going back days on the Date function for GMT?

Hello!

I have 99' Rolex GMT II Coke and decided today to finally learn how to work the watch.... I was trying to set the 24 hour hand(red) to GMT and accidentlly went past midnight so the date changed to the 24th....I tried gently turning it backwards and it didnt seem to want to go back to the 23rd...Do I have to cycle through a month of days now to get to the 22nd????
Thanks! Also Isn't the red hand supposed to be on 24 hour Greenwich Mean Time which is in England?

lol. Well , is it true that the red hand should be pointing at about 23.6 out of 24 on the bezel if the triangle is directly above the rolex crown?
