Looking for advice from those more enlightened than me. I am seriously considering swapping out my 2018 Explorer for a pre-Ceramic no date SS sub. I just purchased the explorer in November, but I havent fallen in love with it (yet). Am I crazy? Should I give it more time with the Explorer before making such a rash decision? I already have a TT pre ceramic sub, so looking for SS to balance the (very modest) collection....

broham84 · 8 April 2019, 06:23 AM

You’re not crazy, if I wasn’t superstitious I would’ve sold my hulk for a 5 digit sub.

kingaustin · 8 April 2019, 06:26 AM

Not at all. Id prefer any sub over an explorer, just personally not a big fan of them

Fat_ninja · 8 April 2019, 07:52 AM

My personal view is the X1 is eay more dynamic as a watch.

Looks great on that strap....Everest or Rubber B?

WhiskeyNovember · 8 April 2019, 08:11 AM

The Submariner (No Date) is all the watch you will ever need. Iconic. Crazy, nope - go for it!

If i was to have only 2 rolex... 1 would be an explorer 1 and the other would be a DD40. Yeah nothing in between

Rsubnodate · 8 April 2019, 08:18 AM

Not crazy, get the sub

Pw92676 · 8 April 2019, 10:00 AM

If it hasn’t grown on you in 5 months, I don’t think it will. I’d move on.

Urosfan · 8 April 2019, 10:07 AM

I think four months is enough time to see if you like the watch. If you don’t love it move it for something that will tickle your fancy more

Oh my, that is one sharp setup!

Love the Explorer. I'd give it a little more time. It's such an awesome piece.

delboylee · 8 April 2019, 10:22 AM

Do it. The explorer is too bland!

sillo · 8 April 2019, 10:23 AM

Any particular thing you don't love about the Explorer?

If you like the way your current sub wears I'd go for it.

Tqmb79 · 8 April 2019, 10:32 AM

I love my explorer 1. Fits nicely with my GMTs. The simplicity of the watch and the quality makes it special. So easy to read as well.

Had Explorer for a year and never fell in love. I think as a side piece to a Sub you would enjoy it more. But if you can only have one then 100% swap out for the Sub. Much more enjoyable experience IMO.

mpnunes · 8 April 2019, 10:59 AM

Thanks for all the replies. Maybe I guess other option is to keep the Explorer and save for another Sub!

Pauln · 8 April 2019, 11:03 AM

I didn’t care for the 39mm Explorer. If you like divers, go for it. Now if you had a 36mm, I’d say you’re crazy.

Fredcohiba · 13 April 2019, 11:41 PM

Go for the sub.

If you want balance how about something other than another Sub?

5 months is already too long. If you’re not into it now, it probably won’t get better.

coaxial · 14 April 2019, 01:27 AM

As an explorer fan, if it doesnt grab you at first; You can always find one again in due time. Get the Sub.

101031-28 · 14 April 2019, 01:29 AM

Sub any day, explorer does nothing for me.

2001jesper · 14 April 2019, 02:19 AM

Would swap in a heartbeat

MickCollins1916 · 14 April 2019, 02:35 AM

I have a 14060m and the MkII 214270. If I had to give one of them up, it would be the sub, even though the sub was my first BNIB. I really like the explorer.

But if it doesn’t do anything for you, I’d move it along and go with something that does.

it's a moving target to me - once you have "the one" I think you'll know. I lucked out that I loved my first piece. If it's burning you, freaking go for it!

majorleon · 14 April 2019, 08:32 AM

Of course you're not.

mcstones · 14 April 2019, 08:42 AM

I'll advice you to go for the sub.
