Yes and yes.
Ideally you should be able to pull out the crown one notch and from there move the local hour hand forward/back without the minute hand or GMT hand changing.
The rotating bezel gives you another time zone in that if you know NYC is -5 hours, you would rotate the bezel backwards so that 5 now sits where 12 would and read the time off the bezel in relation to the hour hand rather than reading it's correct position on the clock.
And for eg here you have three time zones:
- Local 4(am/pm)
- GMT 10pm
- Bezel 2pm
The OG Rolex rational for pilots was they'd always need GMT, then they'd need a local time, and then the bezel for on the fly "what time is it in x"?
- Local 4(am/pm)

Thanks, I read this article last night:
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/tudor-black-bay-gmt-review
and the reason I got confused was that they ignore the GMT hand always showing GMT.
I guess to most people, always showing GMT is irrelevant. It just so happens that GMT is also our home timezone, so when people discuss how to use a GMT, always showing GMT becomes the "3rd option" whereas to us in the UK, rotating the bezel to show an optional 3rd timezone is the "3rd option".

I still really don't understand how the "proper" GMTs work.
You set the normal hour to the new time zone and the GMT hand always points at GMT?
So if I'm reading the pic of the Steinhart Ti GMT, it's 10/22:10 local time, and 14:10 GMT?
