Hi Vince,

Welcome to TRF.

Well, for that length of time, I personally would prefer the lightest of all those models and I think the older GMT-II @ just 127 grams (with all original Oyster links) would win hands down!!

Thanks JJ I value your opinion, Vince

sparky_magoo · 19 July 2010, 11:07 AM

My DSSD is perfectly comfotable and is on 24/7.

DCgator · 31 July 2010, 02:13 PM

I agree. Although it is a big watch it is not heavy but you just know it's quite a solid piece when you're wearing it. "No bout adout it".

ECOMANX · 29 August 2010, 06:08 PM

My Daytona 116520 is extremely comfortable, it also slides nicely under my shirt cuffs. I recommend it highly.

timkel · 30 August 2010, 12:03 AM

IMHO- Explorer I if your active

steubi1 · 1 September 2010, 09:47 PM

Most comfortable is to wear no watch at all, some people can live with that....

No, seriously, I am very happy with the new 116610 Sub.

Tom

TSW · 2 September 2010, 04:48 PM

Daytona hands down!

dave thomas · 2 September 2010, 07:36 PM

good morning from scotland gentlemen. after now owning my submariner for just over a week i can honestly say wow what a watch this is, i have never taken it off and dont plan to do so,you dont even know its there,still cant stop looking at it, as for been comfortable a big

all the best dave.

Zed Homme · 3 September 2010, 01:19 AM

Of all my sport Rolexes, I'd say the 14060 is the most comfortable. It has a slightly smaller profile than the sub date. For true comfort, add a nylon strap...

EDIT, actually my DJ is my most comfortable, but it wasnt in your original list...

Dr. Robert · 3 September 2010, 05:25 AM

For me the most comfy of my watches, all brands, period.....datejust, explorer & explorer 2

RRGHOST1 · 3 September 2010, 05:58 AM

JJ you are right. I have an automatic Longines Hydro-Conquest and after a few hours you can feel the weight, and its a bit bigger than the Pepsi too. The GMT Pepsi you wouldn't know you had it on.

darwen · 3 September 2010, 08:05 AM

I think the Explorer II is a very comfortable watch, probably due to the fact it's quite light.

I've got an Air King and that's so light it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a watch.

Darwen.

esm · 3 September 2010, 08:15 AM

my lightest Rolex is a Sub LV with 2 links removed (i think) - it is the most comfy Rolex to wear all day imo.

wjrw592 · 3 September 2010, 08:23 AM

I would say my most comfortable to wear would be my YachtMaster as it seems to
stay in place, fit under my shirt and look great doing so!

sea-dweller · 3 September 2010, 01:29 PM

Out of the models you describe, it would be the GMT II. I do not have a GMT II C (yet !) to compare. I do have a Sub and ND Sub and find that the crown can sometimes protrude
and "stick" the top of your hand. The GMT II has a very small crown, so this is not a problem.

Out of all my Rolexes, the most comfortable would be the Explorer 1.

EchoBlueUK · 4 October 2010, 02:21 AM

Subc. glidelock + reasonable weight + reasonable size = true awesomeness.

nelixchan · 20 October 2010, 05:23 PM

Explorer II is the most comfortable to me.

nelixchan · 20 October 2010, 05:25 PM

Explorer II is the most comfortable to me. Might wanna try it.

Andad · 20 October 2010, 05:31 PM

Sub no date 1406M on a NATO.

Second that closely followed by the Exp11. (Worn both for weeks constantly)

jeremyam · 21 October 2010, 06:56 AM

height and diameter are the two most important things to consider with comfort. weight is important but i believe the watches dimension dictate HOW comfortable it can be...

thesmallwave · 29 December 2010, 12:49 AM

Sub C black, but if you like green then go for green..Great comfort IHMO

numbsy · 6 January 2011, 02:44 PM

Between the GMT II and the SubC the GMT II wins in comfort as it is lighter and has a smaller wrist presence (hollow links, smaller crown, smaller case etc)

525 · 10 January 2011, 04:26 PM

sea-dweller. every day 10-12 hours. only pleasure!!

jraz · 13 February 2011, 01:59 AM

I have both the new Sub and the GMT II so I can comment that I enjoy them both equally well. I do also have their older smaller profile models, which since the new ones came out , I do not wear at all. So, I guess that I can honestly say that the newer, larger cases are not a discomfort at all.

esm · 13 February 2011, 02:02 AM

IMO - I would say the Sub ND. But even with the 116610s and 116710s, they are almost just as comfortable as the Sub ND. Can't go wrong with any really.

SoftwareDrone · 16 December 2011, 07:24 AM

In my opinion, I would say that the smaller, smoother watches are more comfy (Explorer, Daytona, etc.) where the larger, bulky watches are not so comfy (GMT, Sub, etc.).
Also, I have found that the new bracelets are more comfy than the straps, and the straps are more comfy than the old bracelets.

InTime · 16 December 2011, 04:16 PM

if you wear a milgauss or or a PO a lot you get used to basically any watch afterwards. love the gauss and the GMT2C (standard no alter)
