Hi RWI Gents,

How are you all doing?

I have been thinking a lot if I should go for a Rolex, Patek OR AP.

I have been using a Gen Omega De Ville Prestige in gold, but due to the sentimental value, I would prefer to use another watch and a more daily one.

I have been thinking about a GMT-MASTER II 126711CHNR - I always liked the two tons Rolex.

In terms of Patek, I like Nautilus 5711/1R (not sure about the colour of the dial.

And to be honest in terms of AP, I like all the "basic" models, all the Royal Oak silver with Blue or Black dial.

I am just not sure which watch will be more comfortable.

Any idea on the more comfortable watch?

I have been trying to find a watch like that available in EU, because I wanted to check if I really like any of that watches.

Any opinions on that? :)

Thank you all for any comments and for welcoming to your forum.

The oyster bracelet is WAY more comfortable than the one on the AP (at least the ZF AP 15400 bracelet that I have). I don't own the nautilus, but I do own the Aquanaut on rubber, and while I like the rubber strap, there's no micro adjust on the Patek strap, whereas there is on the oyster... so if my wrist expands a few mm during the day, I can adjust it to make it comfortable. YMMV.

I thought about that, because my country is warm, so it can be uncomfortable if my pulse dilates during the day if it is too warm...

I think the oyster bracelet, will be the one to go. I love the Jubilee, but more on the date just
