I was just thinking about this topic the other day, and I was down to Daytona vs Expy II, and then when I put on the Pepsi... I wasn't so sure anymore, so to end the tiebreak, I'll have to say SubDate on NATO!!

But the non-original strap probably disqualifies my vote

I would have to say: Exp I (1016), GMT Master, EXPII, in that order. Obviously the lighest weights of my line up. Now if the question was which is the most FUN to wear......

The Omega SMP or ROlex TOG are the most comfortable so far for me, but I am not wearing either one routinely. The SD is my favorite so far based on its cosmetic appeal, history, and accuracy. My GMT IIc is also very comfortable to wear, but I am not a fan of its overall looks.

Having spent the last 4 hours trying on my vast collection of Rolex watches I have come to the learned desicion that my Exp II is the most comfartable.
This is based on the fact.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................... it is the only one I own.

YM 2 is by far the most comfortable Rolex I've ever worn.

Nice photo.

The Daytona is the most comfortable model for me thus far.

GMT II is fav, far and away. I fall asleep with it on sometimes, and don't notice it.

No, centre links are hollow.

On Platty, ALL links are solid.

#1.EXP I (1016 best) #2.GMT Master #3.EXPII in that order. Lightness is a key factor. After wearing a GMT II C or Sea Dweller, your wrist feels like air.

I say the Explorer II is a very comfortable model. Just the dimensions of the case is so well balanced and ideal for me. It sits perfectly on the wrist.

The watch is also not too heavy or too light and the Oyster bracelet is still the most comfortable bracelet I have ever worn. I say that having tried on the Jubilee and President bracelets before.
