The most comfortable Rolex...........

Which is the most comfortable Rolex (watch) to wear in your collection? Of all

the watches that I've owned and the ones in my current rotation, I find the

GMT Master II to be the most comfy on the wrist.

Pls. see pics below..... (another excuse to showoff my latest addition)

All of mine are about the same, with the exception of the DeepSea. I find it to be the most uncomfortable out of all my Rolexes.

Depending on your wrist size and shape....

Depending on your wrist size and shape - as long as the bracelet is sized correctly I feel that any model Rolex is extremely comfortable. I have worn six different models through the years and have zero complaints. I feel that this feature of one of Rolex strongholds in design. They are all very comfortable IMHO. Now IWC, Sinn, Ulysse Nardin and Breitling - I had little issues with all of their fitment on my wrist....I feel Omega sport watches would come in second to Rolex for fit and comfort....

For me it's my Day-Date, nice and heavy so you know it's there and the smaller crown doesn't dig into the back of my hand.

Air king 5500 hands down. It feels like bitter. The sd and Pepsi aren't even close.

My Explorer is very comfortable, but I have but one Rolex for now, so comparison is not possible.

I can only hope that my DJ is at least as comfortable.

My most comfortable watch is my Hamilton.

It also keeps extraordinarily stable time.

I also like the way the minute and second-hand extend into the chapter ring.

Daytona on strap is the best, DD1 comes in second.
