I've always been curious about this. On Patek pieces with a deployment clasp, why is the buckle side of the strap at the 6 o'clock, when traditionally it would be at 12 o'clock? I think it looks strange when I look at wrist shots and the tail of the strap is sticking out on the inside of the wrist.
