Icon12 which wrist do you wear your watch??
I am right handed, and normally wear my watch on my left wrist. But occasionally I also wear on my right wrist. Is this the "correct" way to wear your watch?, that is, wearing on the oppsite wrist of your dominant hand? Or, you should wear your watch on both of your wrist, and switch them once in a while?

Ambidextrous, but write with right hand, and wear on right.
Also left footed, but that's another story!

Usually on the left wrist, occasionally on the right.

Politically Right. Right handed. Watch follows both.

The watch was meant to be worn on the left arm. Thats why thr crown is on the right side. It would feel weird if I wore it on my right arm.

Do think Rolex would ever make a watch for leftys?

I am left handed and wear my watch on my left wrist.

Every so often, I switch and wear it on my right wrist. This only lasts a year then back to my left.
