Easy Ed, the fourth hand allows me to track a second timezone. Tracking a third with a rotating bezel is difficult and in practical terms, highly unusual (who needs to track three timezones?).
Also, all you need is a broken spring or some grit/sand under that rotating bezel to bring it to a screeching halt (I know a few guys with subs with bezels that don't work). Take out that 'complication' and problem solved.
As well, because of the semi-sloping bezel, it gives the watch a dressier look, so it's more practical in that it can do double duty as a tool watch AND a dress watch.
