Nope the winder is on the top pointing at my elbow just like the picture. Most watches are made for the left hand with the winder pointing towards your hand but put it on your right hand and its backwards, kind of as the face is still correct, I just have to remove it if I need to wind it, which is why I don't buy watches that need winding. I've been told my entire life I'm wearing my watch on the wrong hand @#$@$%#
Kind of depends on which hand you put it on.
