From the photo it seems to be worn on the right arm/wrist as the controls are on the wrong side if you're right handed ?

It looks alright, nothing particularly special though.

It certainly is not cheap!

I really like it and the reason it will cost around £500 is the automatic movement.
Orient make this watch so it will be pretty good quality.
Love the power meter which shows the stored energy like a Subaru fuel gauge.

On sale 11th January and according to a european Orient importer it will be Japan only but i have pre-ordered one.
Hope not to overfill the power meter so will have to wear it on my left wrist! LOL.

Not really. Alot of bigger watches have the crown on the left side so as not to dig into the hand/wrist. Gone are the days of having to wind up watches so the crown can be on the other side without causing a problem
