Turki's original post, simply titled 'Lefty,' sparked a discussion among collectors about the unique appeal and wearability of left-handed watches. This article explores the nuances of these specialized timepieces, drawing insights from the community's experiences and perspectives. Turki's exceptional photography, as always, provides the perfect visual anchor for this exploration.

Key Points from the Discussion

The 'Lefty' designation refers to watches designed to be worn on the right wrist, with the crown positioned on the left side of the case for easier winding and adjustment by left-handed individuals.
Despite the 'Lefty' design, some collectors, like oyster case, choose to wear these watches on their right wrist due to personal preference or recovery from injury, highlighting the versatility of wear.
The aesthetic of a left-hand crown can be a significant draw for collectors, offering a distinct visual appeal compared to traditional right-hand crown placements.

Haha, I'm glad some one else is torturing Nico with this very cool one ::)))

I will wear it on the right wrist at some point but am recovering from an injury still. Your shots are always so well done 👏

Either you are wearing it upside down, or you've changed most of classical physics for good... (and I am rooting for the second option! ;-))
