Again, it looked like a MONTBLAC.<br /><br />I too wear my watches on my right hand, evensince I got on-- a Favre-leuba (correct spelling?) as gift from my dad for having passed my Inter exams. I still wear one-- of many makes - more for completing my dresing up for the day ! I color coordinate too ! Black with steel and brown with gold. I'm ambidextrous and probably the reason for using my left to tie it up on my right. I also shave with my left,light a match with left, use the hammer with left and used to wind the cord on the top with left and play with right ! Many such oddities ! like left is for sinister !<br /><br />I read somewhere that those who wear on the right are impatient , but not intolerant like me !~<br /><br />Most Gujerati men and women are left-handed in many chores !
