The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Does anyone else fit into this category?

Right handed, watch on the left wrist but it sucks because crowns and push-pieces digging into the back of your hand!

I wish Breitling made some left-hand models for us right handed folk

maybe you could choose a smaller watch ?

My watch sits back / up far enough that I never have issues with the crowns or pushers

Never! besides, the AA isn't that huge, not like a Bentley. I couldn't imagine wearing that!

OK.......


Do not mess with me on this!

Inside (yes) left wrist. Anymore radical might involve moderation.

This is 'the way forward'..... Or indeed leftward.

In Roff speak....... (oh Lord, does that count asreferring to myself in the 3rd person )

Like many (most?) here I am right handed and wear my watch on my left wrist and have never had an issue. The only way that I can see it becoming a problem is if the watch were looser and slipped down too far for my liking.

left handed, wear watch on left wrist. it sure makes the bracelet scratch faster.

Yeah, that's why i keep my watch on my left wrist (I'm right handed). If it were on my dominant hand it'd get destroyed. Having said that my left forearm is smaller than my right, so i think the watch would look better on my right (altho i feel like a tosser saying that).

I only notice the issue if I fall asleep with my arms crossed then I have the imprint on my opposite forearm, otherwise it never bothers me.

Actually, I've never noticed this problem at all. And I'm left handed AND wear the watch on the left wrist.

I never understood why/how someone could wear their watch on the inside of thewrist? Any ideas...

left-handed; left wrist; self-control of a samurai; no scratch issues.

Sorry Sharkman,

Might not have been at my most eloquent.



Picture might help explain better.

Actually, Josh, Breitling is one of the only manufacturers that has a solution for you !

Many - very nice - 70s pieces do have the crown on the left side; these watches are often wrongly described as "left handed", although there was a technical reason with the Cal. 11/12 to move the crown to the left side.

If you want to google those, ref. no. (probably incomplete) are:
Navitimer/Cosmonaute 1806/1809
Navitimer/Cosmonaute 8806/8809
Chronomat 1808
Chronomat 8808
Copilot/Yachting 7651/7661
superOcean/GMT 2105/2115
Chrono-Matic 2110/2111/2112/2114/2118/2120/2121/2122/2130
transOcean 2119/2129


and, of course, the "revival" pieces between 2004 and 2008:
Chrono-Matic *41360
Chrono-Matic LE 24H a22360
Chrono-Matic SE a41350

actually, probably one of the fields where Breitling - by far - offers more choices than any other brand.



Alan, most of us probably understood - and read before - that you like to wear your watch on the inside of your wrist, just lawyers need a little help ...
Apparently you find this more comfortable, although I fail to understand why ? My wrist (and most other, I would assume) bends downwards more than up, so anything that "bites" into your hand would then bite into your palm ? Or do you wear it like this because you are just too shy to show your watches ?
