Quick question:

Wont change my mind, just want to know what to expect...

Does the GMTIIC's sharp edges on the lugs dig in to your wrist, or is at all uncomfortable?

I hated my hublot big bang for this very reason, the clasp especially!

kilyung · 2 May 2012, 04:52 PM

Not for my 6.5" wrist

bardm · 2 May 2012, 05:06 PM

I was bothered by one of the corners of the case the first weeks or so becaurse it was so sharp, but it stopped beeing a problem after that. maybe it was rounded off just enought to not be razerblade sharp anymore. It realy was insanely sharp at first.

Leandro · 2 May 2012, 05:57 PM

Yes, the lugs are sharp, but they don't bother me. I have an average wrist size of 7 inches.

oh boy, that is alarming

I find it rather sharp. My SS Daytona and Milgauss have much smoother cases IMO. The trick with the GMT is to have it snug enough that it's not a problem. I find when I wear it loose, that it sometimes feels like it's digging into my wrist ...

errol0_7 · 2 May 2012, 06:05 PM

perfect for me

gmtm2 · 2 May 2012, 06:23 PM

same here, no issue... probably it may be sharp for someone who has bigger wrist as the lugs will be exposed to more skin contact ?

texex91 · 2 May 2012, 11:37 PM

Very comfortable watch, no issues at all.

Keeperoftime · 3 May 2012, 12:25 AM

Nope, not even on a NATO.

WKC · 3 May 2012, 12:26 AM

none whatsoever

Joey_V · 3 May 2012, 01:40 AM

None. Very comfy watch.

tomchicago · 3 May 2012, 01:50 AM

I tried one on last month & i did find that the bottom right lug dug in a bit, but i think this is true of the maxi cases generally, at least when new.

Like To Watch · 3 May 2012, 02:00 AM

...........no.

tkc324 · 3 May 2012, 02:22 AM

Never had a problem with the lugs

joe100 · 3 May 2012, 02:35 AM

I found the crown to be worse, dug into my hand something awful. Honestly, that was the reason I sold it

Atomant · 3 May 2012, 02:52 AM

none of my Rolexes sharp edge digs onto my wrist.

enjoy yours.

dirt1212 · 3 May 2012, 03:11 AM

I have both a date just and a GMTiic zero problems with comfort with each

Highland Ranger · 3 May 2012, 03:18 AM

8.25" wrist - been wearing one daily since they came out in 2007.

Sharp - but not a comfort issue.

gwalker · 3 May 2012, 04:16 AM

The edges are sharp. I haven't heard any complaints about it digging into their wrists and I've never noticed it when I've had one on.

bardm · 3 May 2012, 04:52 AM

As others have said: If you don't wear it too loose it isn't a problem. I think I had mine too loose at first
