Naw. I type this wearing a 45.5mm Planet Ocean Chrono. Looks just fine. Same for my Luminor Panerais with their giant crown protectors.

Sometimes I wear my watches around my ankle....but only when I wear shorts. Feels very unnatural but after a week Or so you forget it's on.

Sometimes I wear them somewhere else, but that gets really tiring too. Of course, I need the diver extension....

Well, my shift is over. It wasn't too bad all in all. It felt weird the first few hours but as time went on I really appreciated the new found freedom I had with my left hand (insert funny remark here). My watch was cleaner and I didn't have a black ring around my wrist.

I'm going to give it a week on the right arm and then decide. If I do decide to switch it will be just for work purposes only. I like my SA on my left wrist.

Bloody Hell! No!,... I mean why certainly not


Update: I also switched to a rubber strap on my Boschett to see if it stays cleaner. I like the look of the bracelet but it is a dirt magnet.

I've tried it on mine a couple times. But the material used for the strap draws all kinds of fine lint from who knows where. Same with my Sinn rubber strap. Is there some type of preparation you can use to combat this problem that never happens with my Breitling rubber straps.??

I've tried Oxi-clean and Orange-Glo,; I'm out of ideas.

I'm left handed as well and have always worn a watch on my right wrist as long as I can remember, however I thought I'd give the left wrist a shot, and that experiment maybe lasted all of an hour. Writing with your left hand and having a watch on that hand is awkward.

Well, after a week or so trying to wear my watch on theright, I'm back to the left. It just feels too strange. I would always switch it back in the middle of my shift.

I did however switch to rubber and that seems to keep the watch cleaner.

More confirmation that Right Wrist is where its at.. I'm no Lefty though... I just like having my watch close at hand.. err.. yea.. Clasps and Buckles take a beating, I've tried the left, can't do it. I actually notice what hand people where their watch on, like everywhere.. especially the metro where everyone has one arm up holding the rails hahaha, prime viewing location, and in movies and commercials and tv shows
