The imbalance of the Deep Sea (heavy head/light bracelet) makes for a uncomfortable fit for me.

My vote would go to the watch with the two greatest values for two measures:

Weight-
Height of watch on wrist-

DSSD has to be high on the list...

Excuse me, what is DSSD?

In my personal experience, I found that I couldn't get a ND Sub to be comfortable on my wrist. Not sure if it was the link configuration or the fact that it sat flatter on my wrist. It was one of those situations where it would be too tight on one clasp notch, but too loose on the next one down. Very frustrating to say the least.

Another reason why I love the 16600 SD so much. Out-of-the-box fitment on my wrist with no adjustment to the clasp or links whatsoever. I think its because the higher profile caseback allows the watch to slide easier up and down my wrist.

This one kind of makes me uncomfortable just from looking at it.

sakuraba · 8 September 2010, 04:08 AM

This one doesn't look too comfy.

I knew it!

I had a feeling the bezel was aftermarket.

Deepsea hands down, though I would imagine the solid gold yachtmaster II is pretty uncomfortable piece of heavy metal as well.

JUSTROLEXES · 8 September 2010, 04:13 AM

Not sure why but I guess I have the perfect wrist as all of them fit and feel just fine

Love them all

HoustonRider · 8 September 2010, 04:15 AM

My SS Daytona was too light and I kept looking to see if it was there.

I like the heavier watches... my GMT IIc is heavy enough. I think the most uncomfortable ones are the ones you cant feel.

Rebel · 8 September 2010, 04:28 AM

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...)

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.

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....

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

I don't know, but I'd like to find out.

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!
