started as gevril chronograph paul newmann style with eta 2824 and a dubois & dépraz chronograph module, sec. @ 3. put in a nice dw v72 dial, turned round the whole, rlx crown, oyster, caseback etc., a lot of talent and passion from a great friend et voilà - the only left-hand-daytona i know so far.

thats pretty cool. 

i thought it was photoshopped or something. 

never seen one of those before.

 

edit:

this post got me curious so i went to see if there were gen leftys..

 

apparently Rolex did make some lefty watches.

 

"The model 16660 was the first sapphire glass version of the Sea Dweller and the first to be rated for 4,000 feet depth capability. 

Rolex Geneva records show that it was delivered to the French company COMEX specifically for a diver who wished to wear his watch on his right arm, although the watch bears no COMEX identification. Rolex produced an unknown number of Datejusts in the 1950s with Left Hand configuration and ten 18k model 1680 Submariners in the late 1970s. However this is the only known sapphire glass watch and the only Sea Dweller known to have been made in this unusual configuration. 
I choose to wear it on my left wrist which makes the watch very comfortable as the crown no longer digs into the back of my hand as I type."

thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.

we also knew about single rlx lefties, 'usual' models such as sub and s.dweller.

in the end, it was the rolex chrono, that spurred the ambition. with the chrono-module / sec. @ 3 and a lot of skills and passion - many thanks again D.!!! - a unique daytona came out.

the watch is with a good friend now, but as far as i remember the subdial @ 6 is faux, other than that chrono is working fine.

 

rgds, lolex
