I went to an AD today to contemplate my first Rolex purchase. I expected to prefer the GMT-Master II or SUBc, but I think the Black Explorer II may have won it for me. What do you guys think; a second opinion is always welcome!

I am amazed at how the Sub NEVER looks out of place on anyone's wrist or with any dress!

ahafs1 · 20 June 2014, 03:50 AM

I prefer the GMT or the white face explorer.

It's funny, looking back at the photos it looks better on then I remembered from the shop!

locutus49 · 20 June 2014, 03:53 AM

The second and third watches (Explorer and Sub) look best on your wrist, IMO. And I'm not an Explorer guy, but it does look good on you.

My personal feeling is that the Sub is the best all-round watch in existence. You can wear it in a suit, or working out in the yard gardening.

white face Explorer looks stunning

samsam · 20 June 2014, 03:54 AM

Black EXPII on you.

nikhsub1 · 20 June 2014, 03:55 AM

I can't live without the date function... and i do not like the EXP 2 so... With that said, White EXP looks best on your wrist out of all those

GMTC gets my vote.. What's an AR... Heh

Whoops I mean AD! I don't think I'll be buying from an AD, I'm visiting the USA next week so think I'll be availing myself of DavidSW's services!

Good choice!

FTX I · 20 June 2014, 04:07 AM

Sub-C

stevedssd · 20 June 2014, 04:14 AM

Choice is so subjective, I'd go with the sub, but you should get whichever one you want most...........if you keep visiting this asylum you will undoubtedly get others later!

It will be interesting to see how you get on with a visit to the USA next week and a TRF seller, let us know how it goes

SaddleSC · 20 June 2014, 04:19 AM

I prefer the Sub, but the reason they make so many different models is to suit all tastes. If you like the EXPII better, then that is the one you should buy.

Urosfan · 20 June 2014, 04:20 AM

Polar exp followed by gmt

Tobbe.l · 20 June 2014, 04:21 AM

Like the sub the most! =)

mannyv11 · 20 June 2014, 04:24 AM

sub all the way

lmcgbaj · 20 June 2014, 04:26 AM

SubC. Classic.

CWIN · 20 June 2014, 04:27 AM

The Sub is never a bad choice for a first Rolex....go GMT if you're looking for something less common and a little more dressy due to the PCLs or go with the Exp II (both dial colors are great) if you lead an active lifestyle and want a watch built like a tank.

belligero · 20 June 2014, 04:27 AM

They're all a bit on the big side for you. Definitely avoid the 42 mm ones.

Explorer II all the way
The fixed bezel with engraved numbers is a far better look for casual and dress.
Gives youthe GMT feature as well.

Dagmus · 20 June 2014, 04:33 AM

Sub or GMT for sure...

Headshrinker · 20 June 2014, 04:34 AM

Get the one you like best, the black Explorer looks great on your wrist.

simongpaez · 20 June 2014, 04:37 AM

Explorer looks great, my vote for the black dial

floater156 · 20 June 2014, 04:38 AM

Black expii is my all time favorite Rolex.

They all look great, but I would go with GMT or EXP2.

Daytona4130 · 20 June 2014, 05:00 AM

Black explorer wins my vote

T01 · 20 June 2014, 05:02 AM

Though they're all nice pieces, if it was me I'd go for the subc.
