Absolutely agree - Rolex could easily release a normal right sided crown version, yet they release something so unlike Rolex! That’s the best part about this watch.

That’s an amazing call!!

Left, right, doesn’t matter. It’s a gorgeous watch and a major conversation piece.

If it really looked normal as in the first picture I would have taken it but on Thursday I passed on it, It looked weird and I just couldn’t get used to it. I really, really tried. I had it on my wrist for about 1/2 hr, walked around with it in the boutique and it just didn’t click.

You did a great thing. Leaving it for someone who’ll enjoy it. Rare these days for someone to do the right thing.

I'm not getting used to it, quite the opposite. However, if we all liked the same stuff all the time, it would soon get boring. Good for you OP.

Congratulations! Don’t see many of these, they are a fun color change vs all the Pepsi and Batman GMTs we see.

I like what Rolex did with this reference. I easily would wear this one on my left wrist same as many watch enthusiasts wears their watches on their right wrist in order to avoid digging the crown in the back of their hands.
