Hey Guys, my mother is currently in Paris and has told me she would buy me a rolex as a present.
She was looking at a dssd on my request.
Problem being she has sent me dodgy photo's on her cell phone and i have said yes please, but upon looking at them again it appears the crown may be at 9 rather than 3?
The photo's are very blurry and i am unable to make contact with her for the past 4 hours.
My question is do rolex make watches for left handers?
I doubt a replica would be that bad to put crown or triangle marker in wrong position ?
I'll need to contact the hotel before she buys if this could be fake or is it possible that the grv is looking like the crown on these shoddy pics ?
if required i'll send pics to my email and upload

Thanks in advance guys and i hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere on the forum as i did search all keywords i could think of

Hi Jay,

Rolex don't make a left handed crown, well not that I know of :-) did she send the photo reversed??

If you can pop the pic up

Dave.

The triangle could be positioned at '6', as the bezel rotates.

Thanks guys, i meant the triangle lume on the face.
All is good the AD just called me direct and sent decent photo's of the watch.
It seems somehow my mother (the tech wizard) as i call her.
Somehow sent a mirror image of the photo she took, my heart rate has returned to normal i'll post pics when she returns to Aus on 1st of Feb, my wrist is getting itchy waiting for it
