Right-hander watch?
I am a lefty, but I own only right hander watches, ie crown on the right. As typical lefty, I wear watch on my right hand. Very comfortable, no crown poking on my wrist. I have zero issues winding/adjusting the crown with my right hand. With the majority of watches out there are right-hander, it works very well for lefties. Or is it just me?

😂 I prefer a "destro" or LHD wherever possible, and am considering converting my entire collection so.
As a righty, I don't want the crown in the way of my hand when doing offhand or odd movements/manipulations.
Since I predominantly wear single pass straps, a left hand crown doesn't dig into my forearms, since it sits ever so slightly higher.
If I can't get it left hand (and up until very recently it was a pipedream in the affordable section) I'll go for a 4 o clock crown.
Doesn't keep me from enjoying my regular crown positions, but for my harder used watches, it's why they are usually on a single pass. I can keep it tighter so it doesn't slide down and give me crown bite, but has a lil flex, unlike a steel bracelet.
Same, lefty with all righty watches. It's fine. But maybe I'm used to life being hard.
Im with you, we are the supreme watch wearers. Those who wear on the right wrist with the crown on the right riding up our forearm, not obstructing our wrists, are the most comfortable wearers of watches.

Which part of lefties wearing right hander watches are hard?

Most practical is go for 4 o'clock crown.

Yup.
Or start getting quotes for all watches in my collection from a watchmaker..👀🤏🏻.
In all seriousness, Nodus, Wolbrook/Douglas, Sangin Instruments, Resco, Sheffield, Momentum (hopefully with the UDT reissue), and Citizen are helping to put some lefty styles in the under $5K luxury space. And options at all price points is never a bad thing, and will drive competitors to also do the same, thereby making the idea more ubiquitous, and cheaper, for all.

Just goofing around. We're talking watches, it's all gravy.

Well of course. "Destro" means right. Because LHD's are made for righties.
There's many of us. Crown on the right and right hand with better dexterity than right handed people's left hand. 👌
Try Citizen NY008x or NY0100 series because crown at 8 o'clock for these.
I see that your crown hits your hand, why not just wear it above the bone. I can't even move my hand if a watch is below the bone and it doesn't even look comfortable to have it sitting there. Why do we seem to make problems for our lizard brains to solve with just another variant? 😂
All watches are ambitious, it's only your preference. Don't let people tell you how to wear your Jewelry. I wear a watch on both wrists sometimes
Im left handed, but wear my watches around my right ankle. It's awkward when someone asks me for the time, but my automatics stay fully wound!
