Gmtiic sharp?
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!

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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

8.25" wrist - been wearing one daily since they came out in 2007.
Sharp - but not a comfort issue. |

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.

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
