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.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
