Dallas -- Protestant evangelist Billy Graham appears on stage during the Explo '72, an evangelical conference sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ, which was described as "a religious Woodstock" (1972)
If the image is inverted, I ain't the one what inverted it.
That said, I'd love to see more photos of this event. I'll wager that, apart from the 'Laugh-In' backdrop (didn't Graham do a guest shot on 'Laugh-In'?) it looks like a standard Billy Graham Crusade of the period.
All the photos on Google images which show a wristwatch on Rev. Graham show it apparently on his right wrist. Almost none of these pictures contain details by which one could tell if the image had been reversed. There was one with a table clock behind him and the numerals were unreversed. However, there was a picture of Graham with John McCain and McCain was wearing HIS watch on the same wrist (apparently the right) as the Rev.
All of the photos that I've ssen of Billy Graham wearing a watch show him wearing it on his right hand. Given that he's also carrying his bible in his right hand is it just barely possible that he's left handed?
For what it's worth, I've located another photo from his event, showing the Rev. standing before a backdrop with 'JESUS' written in psychedelic script. The watch is on his right wrist in that photo (which I can make available lest anyone doubt).

Is this photo inverted, or did he just wear his watch on his right wrist?
(Of course, some do, but I'm hoping you have a higher resolution image, so you can examine the watch face to make sure.)
"Don't take the brown wafer...the brown wafer is *bad*..."
That's as close as I've seen him ever flippin' somebody off.

Do you have a higher resolution image, though, so that one's mind could be set at ease?
Looks like the shirt buttons and the sans-a-belt strap are heading in the correct direction for a manly man.

No, I don't. Sorry.

Glad I could help.

Found 3 other images on Google Images of B. Graham showing a wristwatch on his right wrist (including photos with Presidents Nixon & Obama).

It's a simple case of Occam's Razor. The simplest answer - in this case that Dr. Graham is most likely left-handed - is usually the correct one.
When he goes to heaven Billy will sit at God's left hand.
