Explorer 2: Nice watch. Comfortable for daily usage.

Sea Dweller 16600: Comfortable but not the most. Like it

Milgauss: I am using a GV and PCL's are not good for daily usage. Comfort is ok, but not the best.

Gmt2 16710: So comfortable. I would like to have a Pepsi.

Datejust 2: Bulky and not comfortable.

Submariner 16610: So comfortable.

For daily usage, I would choose Sea Dweller (not as common as Sub) or Pepsi. (bezel looks great) I have to say that Pepsi is more comfortable than Sea Dweller. GMT function is an another advantage.

DJ can be dressed up or down very easily it got my vote. Although I feel any Rolex can work with jeans and a T and tux later that night ;)

I have a 16610, but think the Exp2 would certainly make a better daily wearer.

It's cheaper (especially pre-owned), lighter, thinner, doesn't have a bazel insert, attracts less attention...

But I like the heavier, bigger feel of the Sub, that's y I have one instead of the Exp2.

My 16600 is 13 years old so I have backed off on some of the ware. My 116400 is only 6 months old so for me it’s the 116400. I don’t have much experience with the other models so this is for me.

I would vote for classic 36mm SS Datejust, but from offered - my choice is Explorer II.

I voted for the DJ II only because I view it as a more "business like" watch...

Datejust not listed. It is the best and the most sold and the most recognizable worldwide. What about Daytona? Day Date? I know a lot of people who wear one everyday.

A Sub makes a great daily wearer....and in one form or another, a sub will probably remain my daily wearer for years to come!

To wear daily it would need to be comfortable by the end of the day, so i think its a choice of the GMT(my choice) Sub, Explorer II. Any one of those would be good.
