It is ugly no matter how you slice it though.

Interesting you'd seen one. If it was a common conversion it doesn't look well planned, looks like you can barely get your fingers between the wheel and the bezel. Agreed it's ugly as ---fudgesicle---.

This is only the second or third one I've seen and I had the exact same reaction you did the first time. WTF???? ;D
