Exp II 42mm vs. GMT II

Stopped by the Mayors in Boca this weekend and they had the new Exp II. I have been wanting to try one on for awhile now, but this is the first time I have seen one in a store. Let me just say that I love this watch! The size is absolutely perfect and everything about the fit and feel is great. Rolex really nailed it with this one. It has the classic lines of a Rolex sports watch. Night and day better than the new Sub in my opinion.

Anyways, here is a picture to compare the 42mm size vs. my GMT:

Looks good, and 42mm is a pretty good size.

Probably not right now. I have a line on a Daytona that my old boss will be selling to me in May. Im going to get it for a great price that I would never be able to find elsewhere.

I think that the Explorer II Polar would be a nice addition for someone with only black dial sport watches. One thing I wish is that the bezel was rotatable as on the GMT, but that is a minor grievance for a watch that looks great.
