This goes out to you folks who wear your watch on your right wrist

You make me cry.

Especially the AP, PP and Rolex owners.

I don't know...maybe I am just insane, but I have always given people the stink eye who wear a watch on their right wrist.

It's cool if you wear it on your right wrist, people will notice your watch when you shake hands!

Ever think they might be a lefty?

I'm a lefty and while I prefer to wear mine on the left hand...it gets in the way sometimes...like when playing my guitar...

So I put it on my right hand.

Yes, maybe you are.

My wife is left handed and wears hers on her right wrist. What's odd about that?

This is actually a brilliant point. I may have to start wearing it on my right wrist when I go out.

if i were a lefty, i'd probably wear mine too on the right.. So what's wrong with wearing the watch on the right? you will most likely take it off anyways when adjusting the time or winding it..

As a lefty, I have always worn my watches on my right wrist. I actually prefer having the watch on the opposite of my writing hand, it's a comfort thing.

And as mentioned above, I'd take the watch off to wind it or adjust the time anyway.

3 out of 4 weirdos living here!! My wife, eldest son and myself all wear our watches on the right. I am left handed but they are right handed. My youngest son who is only 10 and does not really wear a watch has not made up his mind yet.
Do we need help for this condition??!!

I have a friend who is right handed and only wears his watch on the right wrist. This means all his watches - including a Patek, Lange and white gold Blue Sub - get scratched badly, perhaps more than if he wore them on his left wrist. His attitude is - so what? And to be honest, I agree with him. It's his money, his watches and his wearing comfort.

I think this topic has just about exhausted it's good humour.

Respect others choice, left or right wrist, it's not a serious issue.
