If you had to buy a watch. Which of these Rolex do you prefer for daily? Why?

Explorer 14270 vs Submariner 14060

doramas · 4 November 2018, 02:36 AM

Sorry. I was wrong with the subforum. I put it in the general forum. The moderator can cancel it if he considers it appropriate

Franks07 · 4 November 2018, 04:45 AM

Toss up for me but if forced to choose I’d take the Sub for sure.

The Explorer is more versatile so - unless you are an aquanaut - that's what I'd go with!

Subspecies · 4 November 2018, 04:56 AM

Sub in the subforum. Has to be, doesn't it?

subtona · 4 November 2018, 05:01 AM

Always a fan of the sub and maintain one in my collection.

Boaught the Explorer for dad.

The explorer is a bit more under the radar and the sub has a useful timing bezel, but other than that, for me it is a toss up. They are both perfect watches.

Sub is the best!

SearChart · 4 November 2018, 06:00 AM

mineral · 4 November 2018, 07:08 AM

Submariner 1000% and then an Explorer could come later..

SpamJunky · 5 November 2018, 05:25 AM

Sub for sure, because it’s on my radar watch I must have

Rags · 5 November 2018, 06:09 AM

I own both also & my favorite out of the two is my sub.

Kingface66 · 5 November 2018, 09:23 AM

Such an awful-looking Explorer. The font they used for the numerals is just awful. If you really truly want an Explorer, and can find a great-condition 1016, grab one.

Chronoseeker · 5 November 2018, 11:21 AM

Jeez, I would really need the date for daily wear and the Oyster case reminds me so much of my Milgauss but the Sub is on the horizon it gets my vote. Is that direct enough, haha ?!

SVH · 5 November 2018, 12:37 PM

14060 all the way

STEELINOX · 5 November 2018, 12:52 PM

SUBMAREENER~! Because the bezel thingy moves to time things...

Styles Bitchley · 5 November 2018, 01:06 PM

It’s amazing how often I use my Sub bezel to time things...cooking, parking meter, etc. I find a bezel indispensable for a daily wearer. I also find a date window to be remarkably useful.

That Explorer has always looked like someone removed the bezel. Sub is classic

brandrea · 6 November 2018, 09:50 PM

In these polls, it’s almost always the Sub for me.

incontrol · 6 November 2018, 10:44 PM

Sub, of course. Much more useful.

Toronto Soup King · 6 November 2018, 11:55 PM

Of those two, the 14060. But in my own collection my 1016 gets perhaps 5x the wrist time of my 5513.

doramas · 8 November 2018, 04:25 AM

Win the Submariner by a lot of margin

1665fan · 8 November 2018, 05:42 AM

Sub Explorer is too small
