Awesome watches! Can't go wrong with classics!

I have the Explorer and have been trying on the Sub this past week. What really surprised me was how SMALL the Sub face looks side by side. Both basically the same size case but the bezel on the Sub really reduces the size of the dial.

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.

Thanks very much, guys. No doubt that the 36mm Exp. I wears larger due to the smaller bezel. A nice change for me from some 47mm PAM's.

Very nice duo! Can you post a couple more pics please, like head-on wrist shots, etc?

I have the 114060 and I'm thinking about adding the 114270, but I would like to get a better idea about it's size.

Well maybe I can help, I have the GMT C and the explorer. Here are some shots.

Very nice pair Jim

[GradyPhilpott]

The 114060 and the 114270 make a nearly perfect pair that would be acceptable in virtually any setting.

Put the 114270 on a leather strap and you could stretch its utility even more.

If for some reason I had to liquidate, my 14060M and my 114270 would serve my needs quite well.

I can tell the time at a glance with this - a hard criterion of mine. I can wear a 47mm Radiomir, to give you an idea of​ my wrist size.

What a great looking watch! I really like the more classic proportions which are spot-on in my opinion! Now I definitely need to find a nice example and see how it fits.
