Chronographs for Lefties

Hello all. I've recently come back to the watch collecting world and am definitely starting my fair share of new posts on TRF

I'm a lefty and wear my watches on my right wrist. In general it's not much of a problem but the crown on some watches does dig into my forearm and I've come to accept this and it no longer bothers me.

Moving from GMTs to Chronographs, however, I've noticed that it is a PITA to use the Chrono function when the watch is technically on the "wrong" wrist. This hasn't been much of an issue for previous Chronos (IWC Portuguese, Omega Speedmaster DSOTM) but I've noticed it's a lot more cumbersome on the Daytona which requires you to unscrew the pushers before using.

I know there are a number of Destro watches (particularly from Panerai but also from Tudor) but does a Destro Chrono exist?

Anyone else a lefty and have issues wearing Chrono watches?

Leave the pusher locks unscrewed. They don't need to be screwed down all the time.

I'm not a lefty so I can't speak from experience but I would think a bullhead chronograph would be suitable for a lefty (or righty).

Both of these statements are true.
