Is Anyone Bothered by the Excessive Bezel Overhang on Some Newer Rolex Models?

I’ve noticed many of the newer models have of bezel overhang between the lugs that doesn’t look right.

You can see it on most of the fixed bezel watches. Some examples are the datejust, explorer I, and Airking

If you look an older model, like this older reference datejust, the bezel lines up with the case

I think this might be done to hide where the end link lines up with the case, but to me it makes it look like the bracelet doesn’t fit with the watch and just doesn’t look very thought out. it also makes it look like the bezel can be popped right off. I hope they eventually go back to how it was before
