rugglesIf you is paid $225 it was either stolen or a fake. The caliber costs more than that. Also, wrist watches are intended for your left hand, regardless of which hand you write with. I agree $2000 is a little high, half that is still closer to appropriate.

SDanteMany people wear watches on their right hands and write with their left hands. And we know how to deal with people who have a problem with that...

RayFMany people do and over 90% dont, but it doesn't change the fact that wrist watches are intended for your left hand. A left handed writer would better off wearing a watch on the right, the additional weight affects your writing, hence the reason you are intended to wear them on the left. Left handers were taught to write with their left hand until recently because of tooling used during the industrial revolution.

rugglesIt is meant to be worn on your left hand, like all watches are, the pushers and crown are reversed be Use they're big and would get caught on the back of the wrist

TigerUKAll watches should be worn on the right hand, else the crown and pushers will did into your wrist--just ask any left-handed person ;- )

RayFIf you went to school and learned history, you would know that machinery during that period was designed for right handed operators, making left handers clumsy and slow. Left handed tools are a recent thing except for exceptions to the rule.

SDanteClumsy and slow? Surely they'd just adapt over time. I'm a right hander but if I was living in a left hand world I'd be able to adapt. Over time I'd become a lefty. It's just a matter of adapting. There's nothing in your dna which makes you a lefty or a righty just that we just preferred it one way over the other as babies or even in the womb and just became more dexterous that way.

TigerUKThey could adapt "over time", which cost money. I the meanwhile there were right handed people who could do the task without adapting. Handedness in genetic, it's in your DNA. The "D gene" is what usually causes it. Year 8 biology.

SDanteOccasionally one can trace idiocy to Genetics as well. Glue sniffing on the other hand, works 100% of the time.

RayFKeep straying further from the topic, watches still go on the left.

RayFI'm not interested in religion, but I am familiar with the Ecclesiastes 10:2 passage you mean, which has nothing to do with watches. But a right handed, or a right eye dominant person (wise as you seem to infer), would use their left wrist, in their wisdom.
