Right wrist, left handed. I used to wear mine on the left, but it sure took a beating being on my strong side. Thankfully all scratches were taken care of with it's last service. Now it resides on my weak side and is virtually scratch free.

When my Dad was in the army, before I was born, he was stationed in Malaysia and he wore a manual wind Smith's watch on leather, due to the humidity and sweating he developed a nasty rash where the watch strap contacted the skin on his left wrist. The army doctor told him to wear it on his right wrist until the rash cleared up, he did this but got so used to it he never switched back. Years later I came along and eventually got my first watch, I copied my Dad thinking it was right, then my brother came along and saw the pair of us with watches on our right wrist, he followed suit.

Then I had kids of my own, you guessed it they copied me.....so we were a family of right wrist wearers....I say "were"....a couple of years back for no apparent reason, my Dad sitched back to his left wrist!!!....leaving us all high and dry....ha ha......

So, that's my reason.....and my kids....including Colnago Jr who is a member here

Not because it winds up faster?

Isn't it strange how the watch feeling considerably heavier when worn on the 'other' wrist ?

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.
