actually , wouldnt it be as simple as flipping the dial upside down and swapping the bracelet around to achieve a "lefty" ?

Maybe you try to do & let us know?

needs a different dial (dial feet positions are different).

[EMboss]

The date window and crown will be same position.

First heard rolex has lefty?

[leoric79]

Wow, this is a very rare piece I must say. I have never seen a lefty before.

[Nichmenichyou]

[Alexlow]

Wow.. how you do it? so now you have to wind upside down?

[reficulx]

Definitely NOT as easy as flipping the dial.

Remember, the date wheel has 31 days and it is odd number.
This means that on the other side of 9, if you flip the dial, you will get a date that is in between.

THAT is the same rationale why you see fakes/ super molested Omega Ploprof with the wrong configuration as the date wheels are meant for lefty and rare to get.
