Does anyone wear their Rollies on right wrist for any other reason than that they are left handed?

alxforschnr · 9 November 2011, 11:27 PM

Nope, thats the only reason I need

2 reasons:

1) I am left handed
2) Protection from scratches!

globalmedia33 · 9 November 2011, 11:33 PM

Nope.

Annan · 10 November 2011, 02:16 AM

My wife does (she's right handed) and says it just feels more comfortable to her. She wears all her watches this way.

thewatchguy93 · 10 November 2011, 02:20 AM

Sometimes I will try my watch on my right wrist for a short period of time, I like the way it looks, you get an idea of what it looks like from another persons perspective

However I wear it on my left all the time..

left wrist , but face inwards.

wyattearp · 10 November 2011, 02:41 AM

I've always liked the way it felt on the right wrist, like theres more of a presence, even though I'm right handed. Still, I wear it on the left, sorta felt like it was the "right" thing to do, no pun intended. hah

Mickey® · 10 November 2011, 02:42 AM

I hope not...but I guess it's possible.
Scratch protection?

Grumpy Badger · 10 November 2011, 04:16 AM

I wore mine on my right wrist for all of half an hour... And then only because I was trying to look like Steve McQueen!!!

I'm right-handed, but wear all my watches on the right wrist. No special reason...my father, mother, sister and brother all wear theirs on the right too! Now my son also started wearing his watch on the right wrist. And no, I did not tell him to wear it on the right, just like my father did not tell me as well. Funny isn't it? But that's how it is in my family...cannot explain.

Rags · 10 November 2011, 04:48 AM

Nope..

FeelingTheBlues · 10 November 2011, 04:51 AM

I'm a lefty and I wear my watch on my left wrist. I just can't stand having it on my right wrist (to me it's the place of a bracelet)!

gwalker · 10 November 2011, 05:01 AM

It kills me to see righties wearing watches on their right wrist and vice versa. My fiancé does it and I always make comments to her.

316lad · 10 November 2011, 05:03 AM

I wear mine on the right wrist when I'm posing with it in the mirror as it looks like it's on my left wrist. Sort of.

McQueen was left handed so what's the issue? No idea about Charline. I said you should wear it on your non dominant wrist.

didnt know the "king of cool" was left handed - i think that was the issue...... or maybe not.

Manofsteelpt · 10 November 2011, 05:07 AM

I wear mine on the right side... Even though I'm right handed. No reason, just like it there.

(DMB) · 10 November 2011, 09:02 AM

In the military I wore my watches on the right wrist when I was on a tank or Bradley fighting vehicle. The toggle switch to the radio was on the left ear piece of the CVC helmet. Whenever you crossed some type of phase line, checkpoint, etc on a map, you would call it in along with the current time. Wearing the watch on the left wrist would require a break in the transmission in order to look at the exact time. All other times I wore/wear my watch on the left wrist.

Keeperoftime · 10 November 2011, 09:17 AM

I wear one on my right when my left is occupied?
