Submariner 41mm x Explorer 36mm : on my wrist!

Hello fellow Rolex lovers! I’m wanting to buy one of this two watches. With one looks better?

Important: I already have an OP34.

Sub looks best on you in my opinion.
I also prefer it overall to the Exp.

IMO, the Explorer looks absurdly tiny on your wrist, …………………. Submariner

Explorer is the better fit, but if you already have an OP the Sub gives a little more variety.

You could wear either, however if you are looking for something that may be exactly your size do yourself a favor and try a 5 digit Sub or Exp 39.

Which one do you enjoy better? That’s my vote. Don’t get caught up in sub hype just bc it’s an option, the explorer is a beautiful and extremely functional watch and incredibly comfortable on your wrist.

How important is attracting attention from others? If you want that may prefer the sub, if you prefer to fly under the radar may want the explorer. But buy whichever one you will enjoy more.

I’d I owned an OP, I’d go Sub.

Otherwise, I think Explorer looks great!
