I need some help
Hi forum members,
I need some help. If you could only have one, which would it be and why? |

I’d go with the explorer 1, or possibly the explorer 2. I do like the newer explorer 1 better though, with the lumed 3,6,9 and longer hands.

I have the explorer i... I love it !
But out of these 4, one watch only... It has to be the explorer ii. Rugged, brushed steel, a very useful GMT function. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The Explorer 2 looks too big for your wrist, but the Explorer 39mm looks perfect!

aesthetically speaking explorer 1 looks proportionately good on your wrist.

I've owned both Exp II and Milgauss and lusted after an Exp I but never had the pleasure.
So I'd say Exp I or Exp II or Milgauss. Not helpful - so if I'm pushed I'd say Exp II. or Exp I. |

Explorer Polar. Which I'm wearing as I type this.
I've also got a Z-Blue because it contrasts so well with the Polar. But the Explorer would be kept if I could have only one. Hope I never have to. |

The blue or the white Milgauss.
The blue looks way hotter but the white is discontinued, so if you like that one and it is NIB I might lean to it. |

Exp II Polar.. combination of all aspects of practicality and Rolex credo on 1. Rugged, practical (date & GMT great 42 MM size, extremely legible) and a classic with model heritage.. and obviously it looks great in both casual and formal setting..

I own the Zblue and the Polar 42, if I had to choose one it would be the Expii. I have a 7" wrist but it doesn't feel or wear too big at all, very comfortable. WHY: It works for any situation and ticks every box. Best bang for sure..

I think the Z-Blue Milgauss looks best on you, hands down. That would be my vote!

Exp I, Exp II, MG blue, or MG white
I think they all look great ! Get what speaks to your heart, and has a practical use. Sorry I was no help !

Of these 4, the Explorer and blue milgauss are the most versatile. However the explorer is head and shoulders above the MG. It’s classy and has a ton of history. Explorer can easily be dressed up or down and can be worn with an absolute ton of straps. Third would be the II, and white MG wouldn’t even be in the conversation.

Blue Millie for me, I find black and white on SS a bit dull after a time.

Those watches look too big for your wrist so a DJ36 would be my advice.
