Experiences Wearing the Lefty GMT (Sprite?)

I am a lefty but have always worn watches on my left hand. Must admit, I like the idea of the lefty GMT as a way of raging against the (right-handed) machine :), but wondering what the wearing experience has been like for wearers. I plan on trying the watch on my right-hand but if that just doesn't work out, left hand it will go.

So, again just wondering what the experience has been like wearing this watch, stem facing inward on the RH. Comfortable? Has the novelty of having a LH watch worn off?

Wearing mine on my left hand and loving it (one may say even more comfortable as the crown doesn't scratch your wrist when in motion ;)

Always worn my watches on my right hand, so the Sprite feels 'correct' - and it's amazing how quickly you get used to the orientation / crown / cyclops - feels natural after a very short while.

I wear mine on the left wrist and it’s so comfy, I just still struggle setting it .. but it’s no big deal, I don’t like watches on my right wrist so everything stays left … no crown digging in also is a plus ..

My lefty dad loves his on Jubilee, says it is "surprisingly comfortable" to wear.

I'm a lefty and always wear watches on my left wrist...this is great as you can wear it on the left and removes the crown from the top of your hand when writing, etc. I have it on oyster...I don't dig the jubilee personally.

I’m right handed and wear on the left - very comfy w/o crown digging.

All my rolex have dates and I don’t have a sub. After a couple days on wrist I started to get the appeal of a no-date at 3 dial — but of course love that I still have the date (and GMT) with this.

With the easy link extended I can still wear it on the right wrist on the days or moments I’m lounging and unafraid of inadvertently and severely bashing a door frame or other object forgetting a watch is on that wrist.
