No, this is not a NSFW thread! Tried doing a search but couldn't find much on the topic, so apologies if this topic has been discussed before.
Question: is there a convention that brands follow for the strap tongue direction?
I have noticed that GOs and IWCs tend to have "tongue in" straps i.e. tongues face inwards to the wearer. I thought this was a brand convention but then noticed a friend's Patek 5159 had the same "tongue in" on the strap, which he confirmed is how it came from the AD.
My Reverso GMT has its "tongue out" and so the only other hypothesis I had was single deployants="tongue in", butterfly deployants="tongue out"?
I would normally just choose whichever felt more comfortable but wondered if brands followed any conventions when they deliver the new watches.
