    So you are meant to wear it on your right wrist?

    I always thought it was a design thing? I wind and set my watches before I put them on so the side the crown is on is immaterial it’s very difficult to do this when the watch is on anyway unless it has a large crown.

    traditionally yes. most folk wear a watch on their least active side as it were. so to get the crown in a usable position you got leftie watches. but its also a bit of a fashion statement with some brands too

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    If you have already answered this then my apologies, but I've forgotten the reason.
    Just a design feature I think, no specific reason.

    Exactly this Roy,
    part of its design.

    The crown is pretty large on it at 8mm, so can use it on the wrist _left or right _ no problem.
