The most pressing problem with [lunar timing an location):
what are they going to call the lunar equivalent of the geoid?
The 'loonoid', perhaps?

 A more pressing problem is: which timezone(s) will be used?
With a ~ 700-hour "day" it's not clear what to do....

Timezones have nothig to do with time.
Timezones are used to make the numerical value of the time of the sunrise at least somehow equal for all places on the Earth' surface.
As Moon is not located on Earth' surface, the man in the Moon has other worries than our time zones.
Because the 'day' is quite long on the moon, the 'hours' could be as well.
Or they use more 'hours' there, if they want to.
But that isn't related to the nature of time, because the sunrise istn't time neither.
