I know plenty of folks who wear destro models on their left wrist. Biggest advantage... CG doesn't dig into the top of your wrist.

Not at all. There are several manufacturers that make the crown on the left side on a watch intended to be worn on the right, no issue.

Here is a pic of the U Boat model I own and its crown guard is on left side.



Go for it!

Not at all. Change it up from time to time is fun. As long as you like the look, who cares what others think!

There are no less than three destros on my dream list (345, 368, 217)

Besides the fact that they're a little more rare, it's like having a "sleeper" PAM, with just the other side of the case sticking out of your shirt-cuff...

Here's a watch I own that is designed to wear on the left wrist. Mühle's arguments are one - the crown does not conflict with your wrist (or glove) and two, the thumb is the better finger to control the watch and the chrono-start-stop pusher is located on the lower-left - perfectly accessible to the thumb...

Automatic or manual, not a fair comparison when you're asking us to compare a PVD Destro with standard PVD...

I think I didn't express myself correctly; the 195 is an automatic and the 26 manual. So it's not like we're "just" comparing right-hand & left-hand PAMs here.

but aside from that, how is it you came across a 195? AFAIK some Paneristi's name will be engraved on the caseback...
