Have you ever worn it on the opposite wrist?

Have you ever tried your beloved on the other wrist?


Gee it feels funny at first, but then you start to enjoy it!!!!



Geeeee it's different

I've worn an extra one on "the wrong" wrist when taking to RSC & it always feels far heavier than normal

Just from time to time, and specially in hot summer to get some "ventilation" to my left wrist. Not for too long anyway!

Yes I have, but not my choice....... a few weeks ago I had a problem with my wrist/elbow and the doctor told me I needed to wear a soft cast for a couple of weeks..... and let me say this, is weird

I guess I was typing too much in TRF!!!

Best,

Only a few times when I had an injury that prevented me from wearing it normally on my left. Definitly feels funny and I end up looking at my left arm by mistake when checking the time..

I have worn my watches on the other wrist(right) at different times but it never seems to be comfortable. I can't get used to the feeling and always change back to left wrist. I also wear my watch so the dial faces downward(learned from my Dad). Anyone else wear their watches with the dial facing downward???

Feels weird !! There are some things you just can't do with the opposite wrist and wearing a watch on it is one of them !!!!

It feels like whenI first put a collar on a dog. Honestly I have started to feel a bit overwhelmed by the feeling and it just has to come off.

I started wearing my watch on the right wrist when I bought my Omega Seamaster, it is a heavy watch and the bracelet is just perfect on my right wrist. Now I wear all my watches on the right wrist. I´m trying to use my new Sub on both, still favour the right wrist though.
By the way I have some great looking bracelets and strapbands to my Sub, will try to take some pictures soon.

Being a southpaw (left-handed), I wore my watch on the right wrist for years. Finally, several years ago I tried it on my left wrist and it's been there ever since.

I did this because I wrote with my left hand but was most active with picking up or throwing things with my right hand.

There you have it. I've done both.

I tried once, but didn't like it at all. So, it's always on my left wrist....

I have always worn my watches on my left arm since I'm right handed. but I do wear a Destro Panerai Luminor Base on my left arm. It's highly collectable and quite comfy since the Huge Crown protector is on the left side of the watch.
