Icon20 Do you agree about the most comfortable watch

Hi,
I had the previlage to keep and use most of the current Rolex sports models, inculding deepsea, submariner, lv ,gmt 2c , seadweller and gmt pepsi.
I found the gmt pepsi and the explorer 2 the most comfortable daily wearer among all of these watches.
I know some people might not agree but this is my abservation after using all these models.

For me, the 16610 or Explorer 1.

I agree about the EXP-II, however I fail to see why a "Pepsi" GMT would wear any differently than a "Coke", Root Beer" or plain ol' black.

If you put and a jubilee bracelet (62510H) on the Gmt you'll see that it is even more comfortable!!! Like a feather on your wrist

GMT2c is the most comfortable I have , even that I tend to wear more my SDDS at the ,moment . Mind you I'm fairly confident that my new 116520 will be here soon and I remember that one being the most comfortable I ever had

I've had a lot of comfortable watches. None of the Rolexes... But out of the Rolex/Tudor watches I find that the traditional 36 mm DJ is very comfortable. The most comfortable bracelet is the Tudor Jubilee.

I mean gmt in general not just pepsi it feels very light and comfy as compared to the others plus it is a sports model I am discussing about the sports models not the datejusts or dress watches.

I will probably be the minority voice with this one.
Granted I agree the GMT's are light, but in terms of comfort, I would have to say my SD is a very comfortable watch on my wrist.
I for one like substance on my wrist. I like to feel the presence of a watch. Maybe its because of the height factor, I don't know. But, the SD's got my vote.
Next in line would probably be my Daytona.

The most comfortable one I currently own is the 1675.Before that, Air King 5500.

X2. For comfort the thin case GMT is hard to beat.

I completly agree, they are the most comfortable. They both have the thin, light case, smaller clasp with the same bracelets and the thin crown, probably why they feel the same and the most comfortable.

My Datejust is so comfortable, I sometimes forget I even have it on The nice thing about it is that there's zero bracelet rattle as well, so despite its relatively light weight, it feels incredibly strong as well
