Does wearing your Rolex give your wrist a tanline during the Summer?

Its a hot Summer here right now in North America and every Summer that of having worn my GMT and Exp II, I've noticed that my wrist becomes lighter in color than my hand and the rest of my arm altogether. Its like there's a tanline on my wrist. I am outside a lot and am always under the sun. I also notice that when driving, the sunlight always hits my arm when I'm wearing my watch so I think driving a lot is a major contributor to the tanline on my wrist.

I noticed the tanline on my parents who wear Rolex watches themselves as well. I used to wear a digital watch everyday when I was way younger but can't really remember if I ever had a tanline from wearing that watch too. I don't think I ever did. Right now, the contrast on my wrist is not very noticeable, but every time I look down at my wrist like as I type this now, I cant help but laugh a little at how silly it looks.

My question is, do any members here on TRF have a similar experience when you wear your watches in the summer and/or most of the time when you're not wearing long sleeves?? Or am I just pretty crazy for posting this?

So I plan on making a poll of this question for no real reason at all but just to observe any possible statistics to my question. Have a good Wednesday/Thursday everyone!!
