Italian for Right. Popularized by Paneristi because Panerai have done many right hand watches.

Destro seems to be the correct way to call this GMT version since it is so polarizing. Plus, I always loved that character from the G.I. Joe days.

Congratulations.
But secretly I hate you, I am also a leftie wearing my watches on my right and I would LOVE this watch, but there is more chance of Liz Truss winning the next general election then there is of me getting that from my AD.
I am green (and black) with envy

As a fellow southpaw and VTNR owner I can appreciate your enthusiasm for this watch. Love the Jubilee bracelet. Wear it in good health.

I have to admit, the strangest part of the watch for me So far has been winding it with my left hand. It is a very strange feeling going clockwise to wind the watch.

Not a leftie, but I find wearing my watches on my right wrist more comfortable. The date window on this throws me… but I do love the colours.

Congrats OP!

I think it's fine. They can come out with like 5 more colors of the GMT and one for each appendage and they'll continue selling out.
