The most comfortable watch I've ever worn (for my wrist size) is a Submariner 116610LN. I have a 126610LN and although it's literally 1mm larger, it just doesn't sit on my wrist like a 116610LN. I have an Omega Planet Ocean with a steel strap and it's like wearing a brick on my wrist.

So choose wisely for your body shape and size. I'm 5'9".

It's also extremely versatile

Rolex Submariner 114060 from Clean Factory, in my opinion.

Why?
1. Rolex is one of the most popular replica watches, and replica factories have been spending so much time and effort cloning them due to their demand.
2. The price/performance is excellent.
3. It has a reliable VR313x movement that stood the test of time. So far, I personally like the VR313x movement more than the other clone 313x movements like VS313x. Even if the movement breaks, there are so many spare parts and clone movements for repair.
4. It's amazing right out of the box. No modifications needed. Just wear it. No hassle.
5. Unlike the 116610 which has a cyclops, the 114060 doesn't have a cyclops nor date function which means less factor to consider for being a tell-sign (e.g., some Rolex replicas have poor AR quality on the cyclops).
6. The 114060 goes well for many occasions, whether that is outdoor or in a suit.

114060 Clean. The quality of getting your first six digit sub is awesome.
You get to play with the bezel.
You dont have to change the date all the time as there is no date complication present in this watch.
Then move onto the pretty coloured datejusts ;)

Off the top of my head, a vsf no date sub. One less thing for your head to get wrapped around an axle so to speak. Its a gateway watch for some (most?)
Id defo second that, especially if you’ve never had a sub before. After i sold all my gens my first rep was a 39mm explorer bought from this forum. Beat that thing everyday and still going strong.

Appreciate everyone’s ideas and help! I think at this point I’m going to be on the lookout for a a VSF 124060. Correct me if I am wrong but VSF has the better crystal and no ghost date. Could be wrong of course
