Perfect Pair.

It’s been awhile since I have started a thread but recently found a one two punch that based on my taste can’t be beat. Love the simplicity, symmetry and the classic case proportions of the Explorer. I have always appreciated the Seamaster but never felt compelled to own one until the white dial was launched and it has become a favorite of mine. If I had to I could make these two be it for me. Completely subjective so feel free to post your favorite white/black dial combo or just your favorite combo, regardless of dial color. Happy New Year!

I got your perfect pair... right here. Just kidding

For me the perfect pair is a 116500LN Panda and a 228238 champagne dial. One sport steel one dress PM.

I said it’s subjective. I own and have owned some monsters. Starting to realize that scarcer doesn’t mean I like wearing it more....

For myself it’s currently the 116718 and 116500. They work well together
