    Not the watch you wear most but the one that is most comfortable for you to wear. For me it is the PPC 502218. My Cousteau Divers on the available stainless bracelet is close but the PPC is the best for me. What is truly the most comfortable for you?

    My most comfortable watches are my two Vintage Collection Portuguese watches, closely followed by the Vintage Collection Pilot's watch. All three are light and flat, sitting tightly on my wrist, while the strap is not overly tight. These watches don't wobble on my wrist: a wobbling watch is not comfortable. My Portuguese Perpetual Calendar, Saint Exupéry Chrono and Ingenieur Automatic all wobble a bit, they all are heavier and thicker: I guess there is some correlation here.

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing a not so wobbling BPFF: relatively thick but quite light for its size

    Like Paul, I'd say for comfort, I pick a Portugueser.

    The Vintage Collection is on an IWC tang, the RG Jubilee on an aftermarket double deployant, and the Pisa on an IWC deployant. I find the tanf most comfortable, and the IWC single deployant least comfortable.

    While I generally prefer bracelet watches for regular wear, the thin profile of the Portuguesers make them more comfortable than my Ingenieur or Aquatimer.

    I must admit - this is a neat question. Considering all my IWCs, across all product lines except for Portofino - that the most comfortable IWC, in my opinion is the Pilot's Doppelchronograph on Steel Bracelet. Now, the pilot chrono on bracelet may come close, but I don't own/wear one of those. This may be a surpirse to hear - that such a big watch on a steel bracelet would "beat out" the softness of a Portuguese Perpetual on a 4+ year old strap/deployant - but it's true.

    Perhaps it's something about the shape of my wrist, the width of the watch, and the bracelet - BUT that IWC Steel pilot's bracelet is VERY COMFORTABLE.

    Three way tie for me:

    Ingenieur 3327 on steel bracelet, 3711 Doppel on Beads of Rice bracelet, and the AT 2000 on steel bracelet. Seem IWC does a great job with their bracelets, imho.

    It would be comfortable for me too :~)

    My Golf Club and Mark 11 are both easy to wear (as are the Ref 666s). This may be the wrong answer but an older but lighter feels better.

    My first IWC, the Spitfire Mark XVI on a bracelet, is my most comfortable. Surprisingly, given its heft, my CFDV fits snugly on my wrist when I am using the SS bracelet.

    My most comfortable IWC is the Aquatimer Split Minute. The Ingenieur 3227 is very comfortable too, today I have even worn it while mountainbiking in the snow.

    Kind regards,

    Oh, it's an interesting question...

    My pilot chrono is excellent. So comfortable... it's perfect 'cause you don't realise you're wearing it... Except when warm temperatures come... I'm from Spain and the climate there starts to be warm in the begining of spring.

    That's why I bought my ingy 322701 a few months ago (yes, brand new still can be found!! and with great discount!! ;). Though it's quite heavy (216gr.) it's incredible how comfortable it is...

    Lucky I am to can combinate them... but I'm pretty sure that in warm conditions the "ingy" will be the choosen one.
