Is it as comfortable as I read online? Does it taper too much, in your opinion? Do you get used to the, IMO, large buckle?

Radwatch · 30 June 2024, 02:00 AM

I absolutely love mine. The most comfortable watch I own.

Socal Runner · 30 June 2024, 02:02 AM

They are simply the best.

Even a simple rubber bracelet from Rolex is so hyper engineered it's perfect in every aspect.

Slackergirl · 30 June 2024, 02:04 AM

It is my favorite to wear. So comfortable. I've had it for 3 years now and it still looks like new. As far as getting used to it I found it comfortable from the start.

43Airking · 30 June 2024, 02:30 AM

Have tried them on at the AD - I really liked it, especially the way the created it with the support to keep the air flowing - around you wrist.

Bazil · 30 June 2024, 02:33 AM

Very comfy, we’ve had a lot of hot days in UK and I’ve sweat a little with it on but it is very easy to wear ..

Timmer1 · 30 June 2024, 02:34 AM

I bought one from my AD and wear it on my 40 mm ceramic sub. Absolutely love it.

77T · 30 June 2024, 02:50 AM

I'm in the minority - also bought an OF and tried it - but I didn't like as much as a Zulu Strap.

Does the what I would call significant amount of taper bother anyone or do you feel it’s appropriate for the design?

Appropriate. The new Speedmaster profesional Moonwatch has a taper that is too much

Hodog16 · 30 June 2024, 04:33 AM

It is comfortable and the fins do allow it to be tighter than I'm used to but not get too sweaty. When I loosen it the curve does kinda "balloon" out.

Agreed and especially on the point about how the strap bulges out where it meets the case which I’m not a fan of personally.

Swilder916 · 30 June 2024, 06:03 AM

Very comfy. Having the micro adjust on the new Daytona makes it really easy to stay comfortable at all times.

Very comfortable bracelet- IF:

it either fits comfortably without any adjustment needed, OR,

it has the glide lock clasp.

Luckily, they all have the glide lock clasp now, but certain older 11-series models will not. Make sure you know what you're buying.

It is comfy but the clasp sucks - it is way too big.

Dougmc · 1 July 2024, 02:45 AM

Very comfortable. Just need to make sure you get the right size for each of the straps. AD initially gave me EE which meant the watch sat strangely on the wrist, but was perfect when moved to DF.

I like the taper and really appreciate the look of a bracelet that tapers. The only thing I wish was that it came with a shorter clasp that had a few micro adjustments.

kaiserphoenix · 1 July 2024, 01:20 PM

Simply the best non full metal bracelet out there bar none. Nothing comes close. If you’re looking for a daily watch, it’s the best.

jd57 · 11 July 2024, 06:14 AM

Just got one. Very comfortable even with heavy YG Yachtmaster II. Agree that the glidelock clasp is a bit bulky but the adjustability is pretty nice. Probably equivalent to Aquanaut 5168g (YM2 is a bet heavier, OF strap a bit more comfortable but clasp a bit bulkier) which I would say is one of my most comfortable watches.

Thank you!
This is very helpful, though I'm yet to have one.

Go to an AD and try it out and be sure to try different references (Sky Dweller, Daytona, YM…)

If you ask here you’ll get a disproportionate response, more so from those who own it and get on well with it. That doesn’t mean that you will like it.

Socal Runner · 11 July 2024, 06:31 AM

It is simply the best. Rolex really does things so well, especially a rubber bracelet. It is so hyper engineered and feels very premium. The taper is perfect and the new glidelock system on my 12 reference Daytona is the best. You can find the perfect fit.

KeobNepo · 11 July 2024, 06:36 AM

Tried it for a few weeks, but couldn’t get used to it. The fins are too uncomfortable. Was not able to find a setting with the sizing of the bracelet that was comfortable.

So comfortable. Go try one on.

I've only had my daytona on OF for a few days, but I have to say, MAN is this thing comfy!
