Wow 91 posts of love!

I have a question.

Is it safe to wear my Rolex to the Piggly Wiggly, where 7up and Mountain Dew might try to take my Sprite?

It’s ridiculous if you wear it on your left arm. If you’re a lefty, who wears the watch as it was intended, on your right arm, then it’s perfect!

You are right! Not sure why anyone who’s not a lefty wants to wear a Destro watch on their left wrist.

Any regrets going sprite?

Weird, not weird, destro or not…. I wear it on my left wrist, and love it. My watch, my money, my taste, my decision…. I could not care less if one doesn’t “understand”.

Only regret is that I didn’t get it earlier.

It is odd, on the left wrist, which I think is why some righties like it.

I’ve been watching this thread and have refrained from commenting, but since you can’t seem to I figure I might as well.

What’s weird is how much you seem to care that some others like wearing this watch on their left wrist. WHO REALLY CARES!? You’re not right and they’re not wrong. I don’t care about some official definition of what a destro watch is. Again, WHO REALLY CARES!? You should try just letting people enjoy what they enjoy without the continued opinionated comments that you seem to think are factual gospel. How many times have you commented basically the same thing in this one thread?

Edit to answer my own question: Nine times. Nine times you’ve commented basically the same thing in this one thread. Here comes number ten!

I just think it looks silly when worn on the wrong wrist. I’m a lefty, and I can’t wear that watch either way. But I did buy one at my AD, as a walk in, yesterday, for my lefty husband, who, like many, has been forced to wear his watch backwards forever. He preferred it to the black and grey, so took us off the list for that one.

I love the left side crown personally, and for some reason the cyclops look more balanced to me being on the left.
None, but it sounds like you do.

I'm a lefty and love mine.

I don't wear it a lot, because it's quite an attention getter. Time to get it back into rotation...

So the crown doesn’t dig into the wrist/hand should be worn on the left … :)
