126720VTNR destro crown threading

[GoneDestro]

For those that are lucky enough to have been allocated one, is the threading reversed? In other words, do you unscrew the crown "clockwise"/towards 12, and wind it/screw it back down counterclockwise towards 6?

Yes you're correct

Hadn’t thought of that

I dig the green and black, but don’t understand the appeal if you’re not a lefty.

Thanks t&c. LS, I am in fact a southpaw. Hoping the retail market calms down so I can acquire.

towards 6, opposite of 'normal' towards 12.

As a fellow southpaw, I hope you get allocated one - amazingly 'natural' on the right wrist - pretty much become a daily wearer for me. Wishing you good luck.

I wonder what percentage of buyers are lefty. I’ve seen a few in the wild, and many in pics, and they’re usually on a righty.

I find the best way to describe the threading as the same as a normal right-handed Rolex -- if you turn that watch upside down, so the crown is on the right, it functions just like any other Rolex sports watch. As a right handed owner (I know, I know, it's SO WRONG) I find it simplest to just flip the watch so the crown is on the right when winding and setting the time. and then flip it back to put it on the wrist. If the threading went the other direction I bet it would feel better setting it left handed, but with the same threading it favors being set right-handed in my opinion.

I'm a leftie, I wear my watches on my right wrist, and I admit it looked strange when I bought it. Now it's my daily wear and all of my other watches look strange on my right wrist. I've always tried to support products built for lefties, but it is a right hand world.
I haven't seen any in the wild yet but mine.

I got mine within a few days just by asking my regular AD. While that surprised me, I think they are out there with a limited market.
Try multiple ADs and keep asking, I think you will get one faster than you think.

Exactly

That's the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box.

I don't get it, is it really that much of a big deal if the crown is on the opposite side? Enjoy the watch on whichever wrist it sits.

It’s great on, such a cool watch in my opinion …
