Swap wrists for that NEW Rolex experience

Hi guys, most of you have probably done this sometime in your life... but after wearing you beloved Rolex 24/7 on your regular (left?) wrist, your body adapts and you probably don't even realise if it's on or offf (similar to those of you with glasses, you wander the house looking for them and then realise they are on yourr head )

Anyway, put your Rolex on your OTHER wrist! DO IT NOW. YES NOW! DON'T READ ON, STOP AND DO IT FIRST.

Wow, feels like someone elses hand (if you know the old joke )

Suddenly, you can feel the heft, appreciate the comfort, and damn, it even LOOKS better....

It's a quick and easy "fix" if you get the urge to buy another Rolex, just swap wrists for a while...

Cheers

It's wrong wrong wrong
Tried that earlier, I use the other hand for too many things and afraid I am going to smack the watch on something hard

Tried it, did not like it!

Mainly because my right wrist is bigger than my left.

Since I wear my watch tight it felt rather uncomfortable. (No I do not want to adjust the bracelet.)

I do that as well sometimes, in the beginning my GMT-Master 1 felt a bit more robust on my right hand compared to on my left hand. But after a few days that feeling is almost gone.

Don't like the feel of it! But it is interesting seeing in on the other wrist. Looks cool, but I can't wear it that way.

I do this, but just from time to time.
Specially on summer, when I need my left wrist to "breath" a little of fresh air, getting wet under the steel band.
I also wear on right hand sometimes, while driving in some "not very safe" areas, just to keep it more out of reach, and out of sight. I keep my windows up too!
Anyway, I can´t bear the watch in my right hand for a long period.
Interesting little experience though.
Kind regards, Abel

Several years ago, I had surgery on my left wrist which I had external rods coming out of. So for about 5 months I had to wear my watch on my right wrist. I never got used to it and could not wait until the rods were removed and was healed up enough to wear my watch back on my left hand.

You are correct though, I have put my DD on my other wrist and it felt like a brick compaired to my usual one.

Sung to the Katy Perry, "I Kissed a Girl" song:

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I switched my watch and I liked it
The feel of her metal on my hand
I switched my watch just to try it
I hope my left wrist don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I switched my watch and I liked it
I liked it

Yes, I know we’re all lame
It doesn't matter,
You're my experimental game
Just human nature,
It's not what,
Good WIS do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I switched my watch and I liked it
The feel of her metal on my hand
I switched my watch just to try it
I hope my left wrist don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I switched my watch and I liked it
I liked it,

Us WIS we are so comical
904L, 18K Gold, so enjoyable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I switched my watch and I liked it
The feel of her metal on my hand
I switched my watch just to try it
I hope my left wrist don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I switched my watch and I liked it
I liked it

Actually, the only time I switch wrists is whilst watching TV during the evenings.....just to give the left wrist a bit of a rest.

But then the watch does become a wee bit tight on the right wrist which is a tad larger.
