I don't think it literally should be a mouth, it is more "tribal design" and "island surfer like" to me as a complete circle of large marks... just my opinion. -steve

I agree the bezel solves the problem, but only if made to not rotate.  My last idea I think is a balance in keeping with Ralf's nice balance, but a slight shift in the lume color in upper and lower two "teeth" to help with low light orientation.

I see what your saying about the "tribal design", but I was under the impression that Ralf was intending more influence from the teeth of the great shark.  However, I agree that it shouldn't cross a certain line going to far to imitate it.  Perhaps the last one with a slight change in lume color on the four teeth is my favorit balance so far.
