That’s a nice pair! You check off a lot of boxes.

Yep! Two of the top 3 movements Rolex makes (YM II being the other), two of the most useful complications, black and white dials, orange and red accents.

Thanks! Had it, and sold it. Too top heavy and uncomfortable. Explorer II, on the other hand, is ridiculously comfortable, and stays on the wrist all evening.

And a very good twosome that is.

Someday, perhaps, a SD43 or Deepsea to round it out? Although, what you have is pretty darn perfect.

Thanks! I had the SD43 and sold it. Too top heavy and uncomfortable. Explorer II, on the other hand, is ridiculously comfortable, and stays on the wrist all evening. I'd imagine that DSSD would be the same!

Agreed sky dweller is pretty stellar. I wish I could pull off the sheer size of this watch.

I love two watch collections!

This one too is like yin and yang! Just as mine for my small wrist:
