When I was growing up, I saw older people wear their watches on the left. I started to wear on the left. It worked out for me because I am right handed. I do almost everything right handed and my watch doesn't get bang up much.
I found that some of the guys here on TRF wear on the right. For those that do wear them on the right, how do you adjust the time or date without removing the watch off your wrist first? Isn't it awkward? I just want your inputs on this.:

I am just being stupid and would like to know. i am pretty sure some of you are curious too.

let vote left or right?

And lets see some pics. I dont have any pics yet because I am having camera difficulty.

exxondus · 18 December 2010, 06:33 PM

i always wear it on my left. regardless the brand of the watch.

bamseladin · 18 December 2010, 06:46 PM

left for me

TSW · 18 December 2010, 06:48 PM

Left.

zidaneong · 18 December 2010, 06:59 PM

Depends on watches, my daily beater is on my right while others are on left. Normally would wear on my left when i am wearing my bracelet. :)

hacampbell1360 · 18 December 2010, 07:03 PM

Thanks you for your response guys and gals.

I have three lefts already. Do I have any right hand wearers

This is not a competition, just for fun...

Andad · 18 December 2010, 07:15 PM

I wear my watches on my leftwrist.

I am right handed.

About 96% of Rolex wearers are right handed.

..so:

About 96% of watch wearers will wear their watch on their left to protect it.

You should have put up a poll.

I don't think a poll has been done before.

I wear mine on my right even thought I'm right handed. I can't stand the crown digging into my hand so for me it's just better. Plus McQueen wore it on the right also and he was too cool for school....

Me doing my best McQueen pose with my long lost 5513! It's now enjoying life in sunny Greece!

I wear mine on the left even though I am left handed, but I use my right hand for a lot of strength related activities. I do switch to my right which is the hand I use for making the bridge when I shoot pool. I'm just scared of the shock it can cause when hitting the ball with the cue stick.

RJC · 18 December 2010, 08:50 PM

I always dress to the left

tomallen · 18 December 2010, 08:54 PM

I wear mine on the right, the crown won't dig in the back of my hand plus I am left handed.

Minutehand · 18 December 2010, 09:06 PM

I am left handed. I wear mostly left, sometimes right....... and both (every now and then)

jackdog · 18 December 2010, 09:26 PM

NMS75 · 18 December 2010, 09:51 PM

I tried the King of Cool approach with my Submariner but unlike Steve I couldn't get on with it

So its the more traditional left for me

kartracer22 · 18 December 2010, 09:52 PM

Always left.

TheLino · 19 December 2010, 12:29 AM

tfarchio · 19 December 2010, 12:53 AM

How do you start a pool???

Gottog · 19 December 2010, 03:19 AM

In some cultures you "wipe" with the left.
For chrissakes, wear the Rolex on the right!

Newportkrieger · 19 December 2010, 03:25 AM

Right handed, watch to the left.

thesmallwave · 19 December 2010, 04:02 AM

Left allways, no matter what watch is...right is for girls IHMO.

fc3s2k · 19 December 2010, 04:07 AM

Left for me, it's just easier to set the time and date without taking the watch out and risk dropping it.

SoCal C4S · 19 December 2010, 04:14 AM

Ambidextrous, but left.
