There were three of us at the table -- blau (who is probably reading this), our friendly boutique manager, and me. We realized that coincidentally, all 3 of us are lefties (though the boutique manager wears his watch on his left wrist). I'm curious, do you wind it with your left hand? Or do you wind it (upside-down) with your right hand, even though it winds in the other direction? I tried winding it with my left hand and it was a strange experience for sure!

I open and wind it with the crown on the right with my right hand, similar to all my watches, it winds the same way. Then I flip (reverse) the crown back to the left to perform the other setting functions with my left hand....
