Omega Seamaster Worldtimer Vs Rolex Exp II

[orangeguy]

Hi All,
I’m currently evaluating picking up one of these two. I love the dial of the Omega with the northern hemisphere displayed. I was also thinking it might fly a bit under the radar. My biggest hesitation is the size. Less about the diameter and more with the thickness. It’s a chunky monkey.

I’ve always been an Explorer II fan, but it is a bit more boring, for a lack of a better word. But, is it still too recognizable as a Rolex, even though it’s not quite as instantly identifiable as a Sub.

From a robustness, I’m guessing either would be fine. Just curious what your thoughts are.

Thanks

I should have specified, a current Exp II 226570. So 42mm Exp II vs the 43mm Omega.

I prefer the Explorer II for it's robustness and go anywhere, do anything, for me. The World Timer is nice but I see it as a niche watch and it would not get much wear for me.

Okay. I'm with you.
