Man, I'm feeling like a fool...but, how does one set the UTC module for Zulu Time? For each revolution of the minute hand, the hour hand moves TWO hours....I must be missing something...! Please be gentle.... :oops:

:huh

Are you saying that the UTC hand is moving ahead from (say) noon to 2 in an hour - i.e. in the time it takes for the minute hand to go around the dial?

That sounds like a 12 hour movement with a 24 hour dial.

OUCH! That is exactly how it is... I guess each movement is either 12 or 24, and can't be changed, correct...?

Well it can technically be changed by swapping out the hour wheel. The bigger issue for me would be how it got to that point in the first place. It sounds fake or franken to me. Can you post pictures?
