Hi,

I have always worn my rolex on my left hand but have seen some people wear thier watches on thier right

for me i think since i am right handed, i do more things with my right- write, use phone,...

so it makes sense to have my watch on my left as its free

what about you?

SL1229 · 8 June 2011, 07:42 PM

I wear it on my left wrist cause I'm right handed and the watch gets in the way when I write.

Darlinboy · 8 June 2011, 07:50 PM

I wear it on this hand ==>

I think that the "rule", certainly the custom, is to wear your watch on your non-primary wrist. I have, just recently, seen left handed watches that have the crown on the opposite side of the case (so it is pointing to your fingers when worn on your right wrist).
I don't really see the point of this design other than the novelty of it.

I wear my YM on my left wrist even though I'm left handed. I think it looks strange on the right with the crown on the wrong side.

nauticajoe · 8 June 2011, 08:51 PM

Wear it on my left wrist.

Interesting side comment about the wallet. I'm left handed, wallet goes in the right back pocket.

globalmedia33 · 8 June 2011, 09:49 PM

Sometimes left and sometimes right.

I lived in london so I dont keep my wallet in my back pocket, too many skilled pick pockets!

(although while in Switzerland I think it dont matter)

I'll endorse that, wallet should never be put in the back trouser pocket. Too easy to pinch or slip out.

Left hand. When I was going through Navy boot camp our RDC made us wear our watches on our left wrist. I don't know if that's Navy reg. Or just his rule. But it stuck so I wear on the left

bmwwilliams · 8 June 2011, 10:27 PM

I wear it on my left hand...because it's the right hand!

What do you mean "underwater"? You get your watch WET???!!!!

For many many years I wore my watch on my right hand and I am right handed. When I got my first nice watch (Rolex Daytona) I made an effort to switch to left. Never looked back. I use a computer a lot and also hand tools. My old beater watches really get pounded on the clasp especially.

As others have stated, normally wear it on the opposite hand than you use. For lefties this can be awkward because of the way the crown sits but I think it would be better to have the crown outside anyways.

kilyung · 8 June 2011, 10:44 PM

Left hand - how gauche eh?

Puffy · 8 June 2011, 10:49 PM

Left hand so it doesn't get in the way...

MortgageGuy · 9 June 2011, 02:25 AM

I wear all my watches on my ankle, just feels better to me

Left hand

Dr. Robert · 9 June 2011, 02:30 AM

left.

smallcandle · 9 June 2011, 02:47 AM

I can't believe how often this question comes up... I still wear mine on the left wrist.

ibrando · 9 June 2011, 02:51 AM

Left hand, and I'm left handed. I'd rather wear it on the right, but it gets in the way with the computer mouse.

Cheers,
B.

Left hand here but I like the look on the right hand

Lisa · 9 June 2011, 03:12 AM

Right wrist because I'm left handed. No issues with the crown digging into the back of my hand this way, too!

wat(her · 9 June 2011, 03:12 AM

Left hand, I'm right handed

JJ Irani · 9 June 2011, 03:20 AM

Give me a dollar for every time this same question has been asked here on TRF, and I could buy myself a new Rolex.
