Right handed watches
Discussion
Bollix, that is all.
I need to have an operation on my left hand for dialysis and need to start wearing my watch on the "other" hand - Dr does not compute how bad this is, so i need a new right handed watch first thoughts were a Panerai, what else am I missing to treat myself too.
I simply cannot bring myself to wear a left handed watch on the right.
Budget is up to £10k i guess as I'm already looking in that range.

I've seen a few Zenith watches to wear on your right wrist over the years. The El Primo Pilot range has/had a few, example below:

May not be to your taste though.

Like the Pelago look - good shout !
The Pelagos LHD is bette looking than the regular one!I wear my watches on my right wrist and I'm right handed, I like that the crown is facing up my arm, not towards the back of my hand as well as the fact a watch on my left wrist seems to drive me a bit claustro!

On all of my watches, the crown is on the right, and I wear on my right wrist and am right handed. It isn't like I wind with it still on my wrist...
Me tooI showed a friend the Pelagos LHD, he wears his watch on his left wrist, he said that he wouldn't be able to set the time and wind while wearing it, right........ ok!
Does ANYONE do that?
There always the pocket watch: This tasteful Patek Philippe is smaller than quite a few modern wrist watches: http://www.chrono24.co.uk/patekphilippe/pocket-wat...
Another alternative would be a Vacheron Constantin's Historique TopWind, a dress watch where the crown is at 12 o'clock.

I'm sure you'll get used to the other side!
As a kid I found it easier to fasten up a watch on my right wrist with my left hand, even though I'm right handed. To this day I still wear on my dominant right. As a previous post has said, it doesn't get adjusted whilst on the wrist. The only other issue is the increased risk of damage, with the wrist its on being busier with practical stuff, nothing a bit of care can't cancel out - if my arm is going down the back of an engine block, the watch comes off first!

Have bought a couple of things from these guys, good to deal with. Have some very keen pricing on Graham at the moment.
