Review of Rolex GMT Master II 116710 "Ceramic"

There is a lot of confusion about 3185. Most people even in the watch forums don't have a slightest clue how that movement operates. :)

Only the main 12 hour hand moves in one hour increments on the gen, not the 24h GMT hand. On the gen the 24h hand simply follows the hour hand sync.

When you say the gen 12 hour hand moves in 1 hour incriments, does that mean that at 1:59 the hour hand is dead on 1 then when it turns 2:00 the hour hand jumps from 1 to 2. Reason I ask is if that is the way the gen operates then whenever the hour hand sits between numbers it would obviously be a fake.

No of course not... the hour hand moves in these increments only on crown setup position 2. That's the independent hour hand setup position where you can move it backwards or forwards... date goes backwards and forwards too (when needed). Gen 3185 doesn't have a quickset date at all.

That's the whole idea of this watch... you can always turn the hour forwards or backwards when you're traveling through the timezones. Watch doesn't hack in this crown position.

The hour hand is normally in sync with the minute hand all the time, just like all other watches. When you use the independent hour hand setup, it maintains the normal sync between hour and minute hands.
