Icon5 BLNR Warning...Does anyone else roll like this?

I rotated the Bezel so that the Blue part is on top. Am I the only one?
(please be the only one..You are special...lol)

Sometimes, I rotate it so that the 6 on the Bezel is lined up with the 12:00 on the dial. That allows the blue in it's entirety to peek out beyond my shirt cuff...

If for no other reason than to post an innate thought.

I usually only rotate the bezel to track a timeline OR time a steak on the grill

I align my bezel so that the 24 hour hand is pointing to a second time zone.

Am I the only one?

This is an interesting fashion statement, especially considering the fact that men have fewer options to spice things up. It would definitely catch my attention because I'd be trying to guess the 3rd timezone that you're trying to track.

Is it safe to do that or will it increase wear and tear on some parts of the watch?
