Do you wear your watch on the Right Hand or Left hand?

I am right handed and I wear my watch on the left hand...
Here in there I like the look of it on the right hand specialy when I see it on others.
What hand do you wear yours at?
Pictures please

Right for me

and I am right handed......weird...long story.....my Dad was in the army before I was born, in Borneo, he wore a manual wind Smiths at the time on a leather strap and on his left wrist, it got hot and damp obviously with the climate there and he got a nasty rash under the strap....army doc told him to switch wrist 'til it cleared up, he didn't switch back.....I copied him, as did my brother, as did my sons (copy me)....then would you believe it a few years ago my Dad switchd back to the left wrist!!!!!....as a side note, it was never any trouble up until a couple of months ago when I got my first Chrono....now I can understand why left is perhaps best.....it is very difficult to operate a Chrono when worn on the right wrist, the controls are all "inboard" and if they are screw down pushers you have to screw them out before they work....not easy....possible....but not easy.....also I probably look very silly whilst doing it with my forearms in knots

Did anyone else go through the Swatches up the wrist phase? It was all the rage when I was in 6th or 7th grade. My sad wrists left me buying girls versions. Nothing changed in that dept so I wear my 36mms on my right wrist, being left handed. Only one at a time these days.

Left, and I'm right handed. I do that because I've killed quite a few Swatches back in the day wearing it on my dominant (and therefore, busy) hand. Always one at a time, though.

Back in high school, I used to wear watches on my right wrist and I never understood why people wore their watches on the left.

Then when I got my first Rolex 2 1/2 years ago, the saleslady suggested I try it on my left. I did and now the right feels weird.

I'm right handed but switch, somtimes right sometimes left. I do find it more comfortable on my right hand with bigger watches. I think it has to do with my right wrist being a little larger....??
