just wondering what's the proper wrist to wear a Rolex?

viper · 11 February 2007, 07:04 AM

proper = whatever is most comfortable to me

i wear mine on my right wrist...i'm left handed

SLRdude · 11 February 2007, 07:11 AM

I wear them on my right wrist, but i am right handed.

slim · 11 February 2007, 07:16 AM

Proper is in the eye of the owner. Im right handed and i wear it on my left hand.

mrbieler · 11 February 2007, 07:17 AM

Right wrist. Right handed.

I've also been told I wear my bracelets and straps backwards.

Somewhere, the watch gods are getting very angry with me.

watchdawg · 11 February 2007, 07:20 AM

Right handed wear on left.

President · 11 February 2007, 07:32 AM

On the left and I'm not completely right-handed.

Prince Tudor · 11 February 2007, 07:44 AM

I wear it on the left and I'm right handed.
As said before, I think it's what you prefer.
I've heard somewhere, that a watch shoud be worn on your weaker side because it's less likely to get damaged.
I'm not sure if I agree though.

Scooby · 11 February 2007, 07:53 AM

Right handed, wear it on the left. I was told that since I will use my right hand for most things (cue the snickering), put a watch on the left hand to keep it out of the way.

Of course, my wife wears her's on her right hand, and she's righty as well. Therefore, by the rules of marriage, I am wrong.

ispep · 11 February 2007, 08:09 AM

I'm right handed and left handed for somethings. Left to write, right to use chopsticks .

mike · 11 February 2007, 08:21 AM

Right wrist for me.

mailman · 11 February 2007, 08:23 AM

Left wrist for me

mp0610 · 11 February 2007, 10:01 AM

Right handed...I wear it on my left

Mr. K · 11 February 2007, 10:12 AM

Right handed, right wrist.

Disclaimer, since a little fight with bone cancer at a young age, well...I only have one arm. So my options are limited.

Not that I advertise that info a lot, but feel like we are all friends here.

I'm a righty, so wear on my left wrist.
Wife is a left, hence the Destro 219, to be worn on her right wrist.

Alcan · 11 February 2007, 10:43 AM

Right handed, left wrist.

JPJ · 11 February 2007, 10:58 AM

Opposite hand to the one I write with, so it doesn't scratch and scrape on the table..... that one stuck with me from school, many many moons ago...

Spencer · 11 February 2007, 11:12 AM

left

djemmtee · 11 February 2007, 11:19 AM

left handed, left wrist

JJ Irani · 11 February 2007, 12:08 PM

Right handed, so left wrist.....but it goes onto the right wrist when I want to wind it real quick!!

montecristo · 11 February 2007, 12:34 PM

Right handed most of the time but sometimes I write with my left hand as well, on the left wrist.

A. Jacobs · 11 February 2007, 02:14 PM

Rifgt handed-left wrist

tonelar · 11 February 2007, 04:20 PM

Ambidextrous / Left wrist here, but sometimes I wear on my right wrist... usualy when I'm hurrying and not paying as much attention.

Tombstone · 11 February 2007, 04:22 PM

Right wrist, left handed, just feels better on the right wrist.

TT Datejust · 11 February 2007, 05:48 PM

On my left wrist.

Alex Stylianou · 11 February 2007, 05:55 PM

On my right wrist , I am right handed

greenfan · 11 February 2007, 07:58 PM

Left wrist, never could wear a watch in my right hand....

Blue Bull · 11 February 2007, 08:08 PM

"Normal" way ...right handed,watch on left wrist.

16% of all people are left handed and its genetically transfered to the kids(Chances are high)

Uncle-AJ · 11 February 2007, 08:57 PM

Right handed, watch on left wrist. It's easier to wind that way.
