thread of the new left-handed GMT, how many in the forum?

I am very happy with my left-handed gmt, but I don't see many entries here, how many of you have received it?

Question.

It appears you are wearing it on your left wrist, I assume you take the watch off when setting the time or date?

It's very nice, but I can't get used to that "design".

I think this is the ugliest Rolex I have ever seen. But my opinion doesn't matter at all. If you like it, that's cool! And congrats, mate!

Left handed GMT? You mean left hand usage, which is worn on the right hand?

In the real world it's possible to convert any Rolex to left hand wind if wanted with slight modification.

A lesson learned, setting a watch should ALWAYS been done off the wrist, as unintentional torque can slightly bend the stem if performed on the arm....

Far from "slight"......

I do not have dexterity in my left fingers to set the watch so it's a no go for me. These are near impossible to get, so OP you are indeed lucky to have purchased one. Enjoy.

Cool design but I have no interest in getting one. I like the destro look with some other brands but it just doesn’t work for me with Rolex.

I didn't know that what you say was feasible. Very interesting.

i think they are extremely cool for the unique and comfort factor for a guy who would wear it on the LEFT, but its so wild and so out of the norm for rolex to do something like this..... i already get asked is that a real rolex constantly.....
