Which way should the hands turn?
Hi all,
Hope everyone is well. I have the 37mm rhodium dial YM 268622. I was under the impression that all modern Rolex’s hands should turn clockwise when you pull out the crown (hacked position) and rotate clockwise (away from you). Are there any other owners out there that can advise? Regards Al Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Your watch has the smaller ladies movement, which turns opposite the 31xx movements.
The previous generation mens movements, 30xx, turned CCW, the 31xx movements turn CW, and now the 32xx series has gone back to the CCW direction. Ladies era movements did the same thing.

I wouldn't call this a ladies movement... I see this as a sensibly sized movement/watch with the rare use of a syloxi hairspring in the sports line. Sent from my SM-G988W using Tapatalk |
