JJ,

I have small wrists (6 1/2). I tried the GMT and Expy II. Both of them were heavy and sweaty (in hot weather). Bottom line...uncomfortable. Then, Steve M. hooked me up with a sweet Tudor Mid-Size Submariner (model 75090). Wow....the comfort of it!

Most uncomfortable Rolex is one thats not there.. feel scared and alone when that happens.

psv · 8 September 2010, 04:33 AM

Of current production watches - Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller. Even if the bracelet is really nice, the watch is really too heavy for 24/7 everyday use (then again, that is not really the design brief of the watch either...)

the most uncomfortable rolex watch should be a stolen one. at least i think so.

WyoWatch · 8 September 2010, 05:36 AM

The 91350 on the 14060M. Loved the watch, hated the bracelet. One of the most uncomfortable bracelets I've ever owned (for my wrist). The hinge on the clasp would constantly dig into my wrist at just the wrong spot. There was no further means of adjustment (short of removing a permanent link) for my small wrist so I just got rid of it in favor of the new sub with half links, a better clasp, and glidelock adjustment. Best decision I ever made.

How do they feel? I have never tried any.

dgr8dude · 8 September 2010, 06:00 AM

I haven't tried all the rolex models, but I feel uncomfortable with my Sea dweller...I only have a 6 1/4 inch wrist and on the six o'clock position, the bracelet has 5 links and 4 links on the other side, so now the clasp is not properly aligned. whereas my GMTIIc is very comfy....

I do not like watches that are really heavy.

Tried a DSSD once, too heavy, even my 16600 does not get much wrist time.

The new Rolex models I own (GMTc and SubC) are too heavy, they get no more wrist time. The additional weight comes of course from the blocky maxi case and the massive bracelet links.

fc3s2k · 8 September 2010, 07:22 AM

For me the DSSD!!! But not the size but the weight makes it uncomfortable! I have a panerai and is very comfortable.

FremStar · 8 September 2010, 07:30 AM

From my Datejust all the way to my Masterpiece after extended wear all of my Rolex pieces become uncomfortable to wear for me especially when I am in the air on trips (except my 116718 when I can use the easylink function). I think the only comfortable adult piece I own is my Maurice Lacroix Jour et Nuit watch (extremely lightweight). I still like all my Rolex models nonetheless...

WARVET · 8 September 2010, 08:55 AM

Is a 16618 more uncomfortable than a 16610

BarkMaster · 8 September 2010, 09:07 AM

Any of the oversized models that are unnecessarily large, heavy and are not shirt-cuff friendly.

(yes, I know I am in the minority.. but then again, I love bark!

I found the regular SD so uncomfortable I sold it after a couple of months, I can't imagine a DSSD.

I tried a DeapSea on the other day, I think I'd rather be shackled in chains...

... and just can't tolerate the DSSD. Too many links need to be removed and then it just sits 'up there' like a brick.

...I have 8 Rolexes and I nearly hate the SDDS.

... I must say that the depth rating of the SDDS is plain stupidity.

...DSSD has to be high on the list...

Deepsea hands down...

... Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller. Even if the bracelet is really nice

...Tried a DSSD once, too heavy

Me ?

I am man enough to be able to lift my arm several times without even being able to detect if my Deepsea is even there or not.

I have a 7" wrist and weight 170 pounds and i can lift my arm with my Deepsea...Imagine that ?

Wow !

May i suggest you guys stick with your girly sized watches or even consider plastic watches.

I hear that some plastic casio watches for ladies are quite comfortable

Man...I guess that a lot of TRFers must find their car keys heavy, specially those who have a remote with their keys

Keep it up guys...High five !

No ! No !

No high five, you might tore a ligament or even get a muscle strain in the forearm ...

gold canyon · 8 September 2010, 12:22 PM

I thought the SD was comfortable, as is the submariner. The GMT2C seems to sit "flatter" on your wrist unlike the above mentioned models. (It took me some time to get use to wearing a GMT2C because, at first, I thought it was uncomfortable. Then got use to it and liked it a lot, especially with the easy adjustment link.) I really, really wanted to get a Deep Sea but, after wearing one for a while, it just didn't feel right. It is possible, however, that over time, I might have found it to be more comfortable.

gpfps · 8 September 2010, 12:38 PM

I agree with the other DS owner. How can watch feel too heavy. But I own a DS and my left arm is 2'' bigger than my right !!!!!!

argabright · 8 September 2010, 12:45 PM

I would definitely feel most uncomfortable wearing the leopard... When I first saw the thread title, that's what came to mind.

Words can't quite capture the embarrassing hideousness.
