So I have bopped back and forth owning a ton of different watches, 5 digits, 114060, lvc, fios, tons of different stuff, sinns, halios, orients even and I just picked up a EXP 1 from my ad, most comfortable watch to wear I have owned, would post pics but don't even know how to now, wearing on leather from aaron at combat, like it's not even there, great piece, the lume also last incredibly long, if anyone is wondering, paid msrp and waiting one day for those wondering

Yeah, agreed. It took me a while to size mine right, though. Started off with 5 links on 6 o'clock side and 5 on 12 o'clock with the anchoring point in the clasp in the middle - too loose. Then I removed one link from 12 o'clock and moved the anchor to the outermost point - too tight. Eventually, I put the link back in and moved the anchor to innermost point and it's bang on now. All with easylink folded in for possible expansion. I have a 7.25" wrist and the watch just disappears.

In the end it is the most comfortable watch I own. Oyster bracelet also wears extra plush compared to Omega bracelet. I used to think that my TH Link bracelet was super comfy but the oyster is just better. Wear in good health!

yep I can't find the sweet spot with bracelet yet but always intended on wearing this with strap, I am use to the glidelock on the subs for bracelet which is of course like the best thing ever for sizing!

214270's on straps are supreme.

Laszlo · 3 October 2019, 09:48 AM

Extemely comfortable, it's a watch that actually disappears on your wrist. You won't be disappointed. It's a great watch.

Ssunnylee24 · 3 October 2019, 10:07 AM

214270 was extremely comfortable once you get the bracelet sized up right.
I bought a 1/2 link and it was super.

Dr. Robert · 3 October 2019, 10:30 AM

I’ve had my 214270 a little over a week, very comfortable & this is coming from a 114270 owner/wearer. I like the easy link.

Comfort is a 10/10

importstunna · 3 October 2019, 12:39 PM

Agreed. The slim profile really helps as well.

Sunny Arizona · 3 October 2019, 12:55 PM

Possibly the best and last Rollie for me.

Boothroyd · 3 October 2019, 01:00 PM

I could never give up my 214270 (MK1). It does just disappear while on the wrist, it is so comfortable.

Love my Mk1 214270. Most comfortable for me is on the Erika's Original straps. Custom fit with a bit of stretch to accommodate fluctuations in wrist size throughout the day.

That looks spectacular. Is it the 36mm or 39mm version?

The bezel almost looks brushed.

39mm and the bezel is brushed.

Wanted a no frills field watch and the mirror polish had to go! So off to Mike at RolliWorks and it started up what is now a popular service for them.

Mission accomplished! That looks great.

Finslayer83 · 5 October 2019, 09:06 AM
