Pam destro question

I was at my local Pam shop the other day and they had a 2nd destro for sale. I am right handed but have always worn my watch on my right hand.

My questions are: Would you buy a destro? Are they harder to flip? Do you think it is more unique to have one?

I am warming to the idea after seeing another member post photos of his.
Thanks and Cheers!

I'm left handed (wear my watch on right hand) and would welcome a destro, I think.

Having said that I've never owned one and became very used to my first AM a #177 having the crown protection NOT digging into my wrist.

cheers

Thanks! I like the way they look and being unique is not a bad thing.

Looking for another PAM? I recall when destro versions were much in demand. That might still be true. Could be the combination of scarcity and an advantage for right handed people to avoid the crown protector. Being accustomed to wearing your watch on your right wrist Panerai offers you an alternative that most companies fail to supply.
