Isn't it all back to front though? How would you operate the 'spoon' with your right hand with it on the left of the watch????
Its actually quite natural - you place your hand with the thumb on the spoon and your forefinger around the right side of the watch. The watch falls neatly into the gap between thumb and forefinger and operating the spoon feels very natural. Edited by marcosgt on Wednesday 21st October 17:01
Grab your left wrist with your right hand with thumb and fingers either side of the watch and you'll see what I mean.

I see what you mean! Clever Grab your left wrist with your right hand with thumb and fingers either side of the watch and you'll see what I mean.
ETA Although on reflection, surely your hand covers the dial then?

Swapped the Longines onto a stitched blue leather strap for a change. The original steel bracelet was grubby and needed a good clean and i'm thinking about polishing and re-brushing the brushed bits anyway. Comfort and practicality wise I prefer the bracelet but it looks quite smart on leather.
To get some practice I gave the clasp on this strap a more brushed look and it was really easy and came out well.
On the subject of polishing and brushing, the polished sections could do with a polish and the brushed sections of the bracelet are a bit scratched too. Do I polish the brushed part before re-brushing, or just brush the brushed bits until the scratches are no longer visible?
I'd guess polish first, however I ran the scourer over the desk-diving scratched Longines clasp a number of times and it looks miles better now.
