I can't verify this is true, but he says this is what GS reps told him when he asked about it.

Interesting… given the Japanese culture it makes a lot of sense. This fact adds to the uniqueness of the watch for me but it was just so odd to wear it that way so I switched it around.
Thank you for responding to the post.
