What wrist do you wear your rolex on?

This might have been done before but i always assumed that people wear there watches on the opposite of the writing hand. I, .E if you are right handed you wear it on the left, which makes sense to me. I wanted to create a poll to find out ( in honour of TR)

Right handed - - - Watch on left wrist. It's so when you go to pick your nose the weight of the watch does not interfere with you hitting the target.

Here's a place to pick them and send them off: http://www.pickboogers.com/

Ambidextrous. But if I have to choose, right handed and watch on the left wrist, it just feels right...or was it left?

Right handed, left wrist...

It seems to me that if you wear your watch on the hand you use most, it is more likely to get the crap smacked out of it..

What a great tribute to TR !
I would like to start one of these polls but cannot work out how to do it.

My suggestion is what is the greatest flying machine in the world

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Spitfire
X wing (Star wars)
Dick Dastardly's plane in the Vulture Squadron
Apollo 11 - but should I include this as it was an obvious hoax?
An other

Maybe someone could help me

Right handed, watch on left (unless it's over 100+, in which case I switch wrists on the fly)

Left Handed, watch on Right wrist!
People used to say Crown should be facing outwards from wrist for easier setting, whilst watch on the wrist. But with a GMT's small crown its virtually impossible anyway!
