Re: Changing the colors ... (GMT content)
Nice David, gotta have a little color. Even though you posted it with a baseball I am guessing this won't get the same treatment you gave the other Rollecks?

The GMT (original) Master had a quickset GMT hand like you described and I believe a quickset date. The GMT hand was probably tied into the day function. The GMT II operates like the Omega GMT. You can move the hour hand in crisp quickset increments forward and backward, even thru the midnight hour. THe date is a slow set date which must be advanced by rotating the hour hand around twice. To set the GMT hand, you move all the hands in unison until the GMT hand reaches the desired hour. Then, you can independently adjust the hour hand to show a separate time. Rotating he bezel will then give you a 3rd time, if you know how many hours + or - UTC (GMT) you need to go.
the original GMT master 16750 got the quickset date in the early 80s. But the the Master II (16760, then 16710) introduced the independent hour hand.
