And so the Rav would wear his watch on his right hand, with the face turned inwards towards his body. That way he could look at his watch without insulting the person who was talking to him, not even slightly.
The Rav also said that doing so gave him an extra minute every day, when he would normally have to move the watch from left to right hand before prayers, when it was time to put on tefillin. Even such a short time could add up to a long time over a long period, and he could employ that time to do more important things.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
