Why in the world of sports are you wearing a right handed holster on your left side ?
I have a lot of reasons for it. I don't know how much you know about the guns and if you ever heard the crossdraw term. In our state we have to conceal carry, so in the event that I might need the gun, I want to bring no attention to it. Unlike Chuck Norris' movies, in the real life drawing the gun from your strong side is a pretty obvious move. Also, driving with the gun is much comfortable while it is on the left side. I know they have a special holster for the crossdraw, but I feel really comfortable with this one.
Its like some people wearing the watch on the right hand, left-handed watch)))

I work in a big hospital in a relatively safe neighborhood of nyc. that being said, ive been warned by patients who also enjoy nice timepieces the area is safe enough. but putting it down in the gym locker may not be such a smart idea...

Regarding the crossdraw position/configuration, I was always amazed at how easy/efficient it was for our issued X26 TASER to be crossdraw carried/deployed when I served as a Cincinnati Police Officer from 2004 through 2006. Not a good pic below, but my issued X26 TASER is visible on my left side (in front of the radio) in the crossdraw position...

Crossdraw is actually a very natural movement for many. Especially if you have done proper amounts of practice so that it becomes an instinctive move if ever needed.

Not for my watch. But I was pick pocketed and my phone was stolen while I was abroad. Used "FindMyiPhone" to track it. When I showed the friend I was staying with (6ft 4in 220lbs of pure muscle ex military scary teddy bear kinda guy) he told me "We go there and we don't come back alive". So bye bye iPhone for the rest of the trip.
Hopefully it won't be too long before the "Find my Speedy" app gets introduced [emoji4]

Very familiar, I just never see anyone do it anymore because it's slow and you sweep on a draw. Even when I did see it their cant was way more forward rather than straight up or almost 15° toward the back. Whatever works though, glad to see people use their 2nd amendment rights in whichever way they prefer to carry. Carry on folks, nothing to see here.

Not any fun to think about.

A better thread would be something like:

Has a beautiful woman ever swooned into your arms when she saw your watch?

If we're gonna make up shit at least let it be fun shit.
you really want a golddiger looking at your watch

If you are going to carry a firearm a good holster it NOT an option,it's a must have item. Many years ago I was robbed at gun point. The guy had his gun in my face then said hand over your cash. I complied gave him the cash I was also carrying a firearm. It was not worth the hassle of getting into a shootout for cash. I did not plan on trying to out draw the guy. One of the benefits of a good holster it concealed my firearm.

Except you, personally, when it comes to your writing. Because we can blame the state of California for that, correct?

Yep you got a point there I should have done more to improve but then I'm retried and somehow managed.

Love the Burgundy leather. Also I'm a big Sig fan.

Belongs on the Hublot forum.
Let's get back on track. The amount of Win in this picture is epic. Let's be honest it could not have happened to a more deserving person. Plus the great digs in Hublot.

If you don't understand who that is. Trust me no one shed a tear for him when it happened. F1 King power! Hahaha

I get "stuck up" for watches all the time.

Normally in Essex.

They say "So what have you bought now?" and then they take it off me for 4-6 weeks... and then I have to pay to get it back!

Essex is becoming a very dodgy area.
