Back to the basics
After many years of Panerai, Blancpain, and so forth decided to get back to me roots.

Certainly the Sub feels thicker, but when just looking straight down on both the Explorer wears comparatively large. As an aside I found the ND much clearer to read than the Date. I wasn't expecting the cyclops to have such an impact, particularly when the hands are passing through it, makes it not particularly legible. The GMT I found even worse. Maybe I'm just used to how clear and easy to read the Explorer is. If I get another Rolex it will definitely be the ND Sub. |

The more watches I own, the more I appreciate not having a date to set. A ND sub, Daytona, and explorer 1 would be my perfect trio.
