You wear your Rolex on left or right arm ?

I Prefer to wear on left because i can adjust the time easily
More over, i use my right hand to write so it may be more comfortable when wearing my watch on the left
What about you guy?
My father prefer right, some big boss like chairman of Patek and Rolex and Obama wear on Left. Putin wear on the Right arm,
What is your opinion ?

I'm left-handed and wear mine on my left. I see people with their watch on the right-hand it seems awkward.

Maybe a better question would be for a right-hand watch wearer to explain themselves

Lost my left hand above the wrist. Does that explain to you why my Rolexes are on my right.

Oops..... my bet is DC Engineer didn't mean for his question to be awkward. Sometimes we all wish we could have a do-over.

Since I was kid I've worn my watch on the right arm. Being a lefty, I was told to wear my watch on the opposite arm. Now it just feels awkward when I put my watch on my left wrist.

X2. I got my first watch when I was about 5 or 6. It was a Mickey Mouse manual wind as I recall. I remember trying it on this wrist, then on that wrist and immediately recognizing that it simply felt best on my left wrist. Now, as I am a lefty....I have had many of A$$ Clowns over the years try and tell me that since I am in fact left handed that it should be on my right! Most of us have 2 wrists, wear your watch on the one that works for you. Wright, punch, throw, eat and whatever else with the hand you feel most comfortable with. No right and wrong here, just what's right for you!

Always on my left wrist. I am right-handed, right side dominant so I prefer to have it on my opposite side to protect it a little bit more from inadvertent knocks and dings.

Maybe you try banning with your left hand next time to see how it feels?

The only thing more unbearable than the OP was that it actually elicited responses.
