mastergod Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) That's a typo. The watch you linked runs an auto movement. The 6497 (which is a handwind) does not support GMT functions. You are right. The linked page says its an automatic 6497 gmt movement - so thats what I ordered. Damn, shouldve known better! Thanks a lot for that clarification Greg. Wish I was a watchsmith, what a great skill it must be to possess. Aftyer years here on RWG I still don´t know don´t know my cannon pinion from my elbow. More noob questions to come... MG Edited November 23, 2009 by mastergod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
