Bugger Lewis, I can see how that could happen as the glass bulge sticks out a lot.
I only wear mine occasionally, partly because it isn't waterproof at all (forget what it says) and partly because it's too light - I like a watch with a bit of weight. My daily beater is a Steinhart GMT which is nice and solid and I find the gmt hand very useful when travelling. Nice to have a Swiss movement too though but, without investing time/money in having it adjusted, I find this one less accurate than most of my watches with movements from Russia/USSR, China and Japan. If I need accuracy I have GPS time on my phone anyway.
