Narrowed down to 4 choices and need some help!
Looking to add another watch to the stable. Just posting here for some advice and input.
I’ve been debating and torn between these 4 choices. 1)Rolex Explorer II 216570 Polar, possibly black dial 2)DJ 41 blue dial, smooth bezel, on jubilee 3)Rolex 116234 36mm Datejust blue dial, fluted bezel, jubilee 4)Tudor Gmt I own a Submariner, Omega 2254.50, and an Omega AT 8900 that I rotate daily. I work primarily indoors ranging from slacks/dress shirt to chinos/polos. I spend most of my days off and vacation outdoors out and about. Borrowed pics* Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I like that Explorer with Black face. However out of them all I would go for the Tudor. Just my opinion, think it looks amazing.

White Ex2 is my pick. Your AT is similar to both DJs, and your Sub+SM are fairly similar to the Tudor BB GMT. White dial and GMT function would be a good change up.

NO way for the Tudor, id say no to a 36mm as well so the 36 Dj is out too. You already have a black dial sub so Id scratch the black Exp II. So that leaves the poplar Exp II and blue DJ41. Between those two simply comes down to your lifestyle and attire. If you are always casual, the EXpII would be a nice add. IF, you dress up some then the DJ blue would work. I would def pick from those two.... good luck! BTW- I like the DJ but I love the polar Exp II (id own one but I have a white Daytona)

Need to know your wrist size, that would play a role.

John brings up a good point and since you said your wrist is a tad under 7", the Exp II is 42mm and does wear large with longer lugs.
I have a 7" wrist too and I previously owned the Exp II (black dial) and I felt more like the watch was wearing me. If you like the larger dial and longer lugs, then the Polar 216570 seems exactly what you are looking for. A mint, pre-owned 16570 Polar Explorer is certainly an option if you feel the 42mm 216570 wears too big on your wrist. Let us know what you decide! |

Polar Explorer 2. I love mine and it’s a change up from your current line up.

I think a GMT would fit nicely into your collection. The DJ's are too similar to your AT and I think the AT is better personally. Either the Explorer or Tudor GMT would fit great.
