Tudor Pelagos LHS

Fallen in love with this model, the bracelet, the patina on the lume and dial.
My only issue is the crown on the LHS and I'm a right hander.

Any other right handed owners of this that aren't bothered by the crown in that position ? Will i soon get used to it ?

I am a left handed person who wears my watch on the right wrist. So basically deal with what you are asking with every watch I have ever owned. I am assuming you wear your watches on your left hand. You will be fine

Derek, I must admit I've not considered how left handers cope with all these 'RHS' winding watches! I guess it just looks odd to me, having the crown on the LHS.

I picked this one up to be my daily driver and I LOVE it. The combination of legibility, light weight and adjustable bracelet make it an ideal daily wearer.

It does take a bit of getting used to. I sometimes try to put it on upside down since I'm so used to the crown locations. I can't wind it left handed so I flip it when setting the time/date.

There are no issues at all wearing it. The crown is all by itself on the other side of my wrist having a good time. There is nothing in the rule book about this being a watch for left handed folks. It actually makes more sense for right handers since the crown doesn't poke at the wrist.

I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

Love the Pelagos options Tudor provides. My preference is the blue, but each variation has it's place. The unique details of the LHD are outstanding.

I have one and wear it on my left wrist and truthfully I don't even notice the crown. It's a complete non-issue for me. If you have the option of visiting a Tudor dealer, and trying one on to make sure of fitment and comfort, it can't hurt to check it out in person.

Shouldn't make any difference other than cosmetic I wouldn't expect anyone to wind the watch while wearing it.
Great looking watch.

What is LHS?

LHD. It means Left Hand Drive.

There is no way the crown being on the left will bother you. Mine certainly doesn't, as if it could anyway.

Love my LHD . I am right handed and wear my watch on my left wrist , holding the watch upside down does help to set . I wouldn’t hesitate if you find the LHD handsome .

Lefty here that wears all watches on my right wrist. Very easy to get used to this on a dive watch where you do not need to access the crown frequently. When moving the wrist, the crown will never be an issue. I have found more discomfort on any LHD on my right wrist. I do have to wear below the bone due to the size of my wrist/arm but do feel a standard watch is more comfortable for me when compared to a LHD

Just picked this up for a tool watch. Very much like the fit and the weight.

Not a watch to wear with a suit.

Very different and would take me some time to get used to, but I really like the watch. I'm sure you'll have no problem with the adjustment.

I own the LHD and enjoy everything about the watch. The only difference for me is visual and I can not detect a wear difference. I own the all four of the Pelagos watches in current production and to say they are a favorite is an understatement.
