GMTII bezel moving when swimming

From time to time my GMT-Master II bezel moves when I am swimming.

It moves inwards towards my body irrespective of which side it is on! So GMT+3 becomes GMT+4 and GMT-4 becomes GMT-5!

Is this normal?!

IMO: Your most likely 'brushing' the bezel along your body causing the bezel to move.

Agreed, just water shouldn't move the bezel, but who knows.....

I just spent the day diving with my GMTIIc on and the bezel didn't move a click. IMHO water alone won't move it
