No you are quite correct
The crown is on the left. It's like that on all 7a28/38 watches.

How unusual. I do know there are watches made for lefties, but I've only seen one watch with the crown on the left and it was an invicta ceramic diving watch.

I actually prefer the crowns on the left.

As I like to wear my watches low on my wrist, some of the larger crowns and crown guards tend to dig into my hand when my wrist bends back.

 

Dive watches are a classic candidate for crowns on the left. They allow full wrist movement and the crown is more protected that way too, unless you switch wrists [emoji4]

 

EDIT : You should know, trying to fiddle with the crown while still wearing your watch is a big NO NO as you can bend the stem or worse.

I didn't know that! It makes sense now that I think about it...don't want to get snagged in anything while diving.

Wearing a Mido 'chronometer' with a 'tv' case.

Its pretty chunky,

But at least the caseback is reasonably flat!

It still has its original band but its missing some links. It fits me but is at its maximum at the clasp.

Bracelet is a Stellux.

Inside is a Cal 1157 which is what Mido calls the AS1920! Sorry no movement pics.

Pretty weird design typical of the late 70s, early 80s.

Here's my Casio , I've had it forever too….

I got this new Casio Data Bank / Calculator on a whim . 

I have about 25 different watches I wear to work ,...watches that I'm not afraid to bump against something that may cause a scratch or ding . My Casio WR pictured above is an example . It seems that every time I wear it one of the younger guys at work comments that it looked like the first watch they ever had . Usually given as a birthday or Christmas present .

So I was perusing watches on ebay and came across this Casio . It tells time in 2 time zones , has several alarms that can be set to go off daily or pre-set dates and times and with a snooze function on alarm 1 , a calculator , exchange rate function , stop watch and split time chronograph , data bank that can store 25 files and telephone numbers , and probably do my taxes .

My favorite feature is that you can set it so the light goes on automatically when you turn your wrist to read the time .

It also has a 10 year battery ,....it says so on the crystal .

And last , but not least ,........$34 with free shipping .

 

I forgot to say that it's multi-lingual.

Very nice watch you posted jdm . It is a classic beauty . 

I'll get one someday.......

 

I started the Year with another classic that the Post Lady delivered on Sunday no less .  It is a Tissot PR516 GL [Grand Luxe ] ......

Nice heft to it with the solid link integrated bracelet .

My pictures don't do it justice .

This doesn't get much wrist time but when I do it feels so right! On this one the inner bezel still moves. 

6139-6002 from June '75.

Hi Anliv , I have a similar gold dial Pogue and  agree about the feeling when wearing it . I remember wearing it on a job interview for good luck .

 Does yours have any water proof/resistance markings on the dial under the hands ?
