How does the GMT Master 16710 wear compared to the Explorer II?

I know the Explorer II is thin and extremely comfortable to wear. How about compared to the 16710 GMT Master. Is it as thin and comfortable? Heavier lighter? Thanks.

They wear identically. For reference, they ride closer to your wrist than a 16610 due to the thinner caseback and are therefore more comfortable.

Personally I found the GMT II to appear bigger on the wrist because of the slightly larger, and black, rotating bezel.

Have to give the nod to the Exp II; however, in reality as mentioned they are pretty much identical. There is approximately 15 grams difference in weight.

GMT II wears bigger and looks bigger than the Exp II. I interchange them often and the gmt just seems bigger. When I go to the GMT IIC it feels even bigger. Just my opinion but I have all three.

They are more comfortable than the Sub imo. Sold my sub because I wore the GMT more.
