Rolex v Omega

The titanium is much lighter than the steel version, so there’s that.

Can I ask why the EXPII gets the most wrist time? Is it short sleeve related (and on that point, does the PO actually fit under shirt sleeves)?

You basically answered your own question. The Omega is a 43.5 mm thick and though I can sometimes get it under a long sleeve dress shirt, which is what I wear when I am in the office, most of the time the 41mm Rolex wins. I have not put in the effort to increase my left sleeve cuff size like some WIS here do. However, in short sleeves, or long sleeve wool or cotton polo's or t-shirts, or with any sweater, the Omega is likely to win.
