Hello Rolex Forum and new friends!
My name is Ben and I have been introduced to this site from my brother Joe or jthomas. I currently graduated college and now following in my brother's footsteps am going to buy my first Rolex with help from my parents! I am really tore between the new Explorer I and the new ceramic Sub. I want something I can wear both dress and casual so any thoughts would be helpful! Ben

The Exp I will serve both purposes. It would be your preference on which style/model. Try them both on at an AD and see which one sings to you. Both models are pretty good for casual or semi formal wear imo. |

Welcome aboard.
 Both great choices you are considering - you can't go wrong.
