I do.
I spoke at arms length for several hours at the Switzerland headquarters. They said they wanted to. They said the old dial looked terrible and the only way to salvage what was left to make it look better was to move the EXPLORER text. Hope that helps!

Hell, I didn't even notice they did...much less why they did.
