Hello everyone.

Currently my collection is down to a Rolex GMT II C, Panerai 392, and a few knock around watches. When I purchased the Pam I moved my DJ that I wore all the time. As I mentioned in another thread I now find myself wearing my knock around more than anything else. I feel that the GMT is a little too dressy with the PCL's and the Bezel (some people think I'm crazy for that comment). I really want something in the Rolex line that I can use for all occasions.

That leads me to needing help deciding. I'm turning my GMT and getting a SS Daytona in either black or white, haven't decided yet. Now I also want to get something that I can use for an everyday knock around. Thinking either the Explorer I 39mm or the Sub No Date. Please take a look at the picture and let me know your thoughts. Also thoughts on which color Daytona. With my skin color I was leaning towards the white dial but I've always loved and wanted the black. AHHH

!!! So indecisive. Thanks in advance.

Both are nice, but for me, the 114060 is the clear winner.

Bangel · 30 November 2014, 01:30 PM

Another vote for the 114060 here.

tkerrmd · 30 November 2014, 01:58 PM

Sub and black face Daytona, great combo

soundserious · 30 November 2014, 02:09 PM

Black daytona and ND sub, done and done

I vote for the sub

Laszlo · 30 November 2014, 02:23 PM

114060, no question.

melrob1 · 30 November 2014, 02:24 PM

I thought the wife would have chose the Explorer but Nope she thinks the Sub.

esdeezy · 30 November 2014, 02:37 PM

Without a doubt sub! And black face Daytona. You'd be set!

watchwatcher · 30 November 2014, 02:41 PM

The sub and a...

White faced Daytona. Sorry.

sickened1 · 30 November 2014, 02:45 PM

Personally I prefer 114060 but only buy what you like regardless of what others say. lol

rolexnub · 30 November 2014, 02:53 PM

The Sub more or less similar to the GMT. For all around use and not too noticeable, I would choose the 39mm Explorer.

Yep.....plus it seems like its more "unique"

I would also suggest that the explorers matte dial is awesome!!!

That statement is only true for those who believe that.

My BLNR gets used for everything and it's got the scratches and dings to prove it, just like all my watches, Rolex and otherwise.

If you really desire an SS Daytona, go for it, but take sometime to consider which dial will be the most legible in a wide range of lighting conditions.

A chronograph you can't read is worthless as far as I'm concerned and that's the main reason I'll never own a Daytona.

The other reason is that I won't be buying any precious metal Rolex watches in this lifetime.

Just tried on a white Daytona today ... LOVED IT!!! It gets my vote!

Sub and Panda TT Daytona, for a black white, sport dressy combo.

Jack T · 30 November 2014, 10:26 PM

Either one is great, I have both and the Explorer gets my vote by a slight margin. It's a bit more versatile and less noticeable. As for the Daytona, I'm moving away from black dial watches.

Yup!

watchstudent · 30 November 2014, 10:36 PM

114060 for me, that's easy though as I am firmly in the 36mm only Explorer camp

goog53 · 30 November 2014, 10:41 PM

Sub No Date by a mile and prefer the clean look of white face Daytona

nello · 30 November 2014, 10:49 PM

White dial Daytona because your wife will probably prefer it over black. (Must keep her happy or watch buying becomes a hassle). And a sub.

Get neither of those. BLRO ftw!

In that case, Sub and black dial Daytona.

sub and black dial daytona

locutus49 · 1 December 2014, 12:27 AM

I would want a watch with a date function. So I recommend SubC with date and SS Daytona. If the Sub has a dark face, get a Daytona with a white face. Have your two Rolexes look completely different. IMO.

PS: Don't worry about scratches, all watches get them, it does not make them look bad.

melons · 1 December 2014, 12:34 AM

114060, it's my daily.

Lees23 · 1 December 2014, 12:36 AM

I wouldn't buy a black dial with your skin tone. Just sayin'...
