Matt,

Did you tried to perform the initial sync, as was explained by an old post (Jaw)?

For a more balance aesthetic, the crown driving the city disc is placed at 2 o'clock instead of the 10 o'clock position.

The watch need to be set only for the first time you use the watch, to synchronise the city marked by a red triangle at 6 o'clock to your residing city, with the the main time, the 24 hour ring time, the clock counter at 7 o'clock and the main hour and minute hands showing exactly the same time.

(1) if this has not been done, set the main hour and minutes on the watch to local time.
(2) turn crown at 2 o'clock.Display through at 6 oclock, facing the red triangular marker, the city that corresponds to the right time zone. The hour hand in the subdial moves accordingly.
(3) Pull crown at 4 o'clock out to position 2. By turning the crown clockwise or anti-clockwise, the privileged time-zone hour hand will move, simultaneously driving the 24-hour ring. Adjust the time in the subdial to show the same time as the main time, and display this time at 6 o'clock, taking account whether it is day or nigh. Push the crown back into position 1.

The displays are now syncrhonised.

If you followed this and you watch is not properly set, an AD should be contacted.

Cheers,

Nilo

Please advise - Master World Geo 24-hour ring out of sync?

Hi all, I generally like to think of myself as fairly savvy when it comes to most watches with simple complications, but this one has got me stumped. I think it's actually an issue, but thought I'd ask before I investigated with the seller/dealer. I will ...  

Naaah, all correct. On your first picture

The time is 12.30. So you are half way between 12 and 13, which is exactly what shows the red triangle. Best, Nicolas

Not correct: there is a 1 hour problem

Matt's watch on the second picture shows 5:17 on the small subdial (and on main time), but 16:17 on the time ring, so there is apparently a 1 hour sync problem between the 2 (subdial and ring), which is a factory setup default since the 2 should be aligne...

Thanks all - I think I will take it to JLC.

Thanks for confirming for me. I didn't want to bring it to an AD only to have them laugh and show me how it works. I will take it in under warranty.

Sorry if you've tried this already but....

Hi guys, Just adjusting my world geo now, with the lower crown pusher in position B you can always adjust the 24hr dial independently of the main time, is this not how you would solve your problem ? Sorry if I've misunderstood your problem. KR George

Oops

Oh dear , yes just looked at your second picture again, there is an issue sorry I responded without checking . KR George

And it's back and fixed...

It didn't even have to go back to JLC. My watchmaker was able to handle it. It was as simple as I had hoped - he just lifted the 24-hour ring and rotated it one "notch". Thanks for the advice, all. ...
