Steel White Faced Dayona or Explorer II White

I know it's a stupid question. I was about to pull the trigger on the Explorer II but I can now get the Daytona at a great price. I know I need both but can only get one for now. Maybe get the other one late next year. Thoughts???

easier to get deals on explorer IIs. If the price is right take advantage and jump on the Daytona

I agree with Tim and Dr. Tom. If the Daytona comes up at the right price, get it.

If the deal on the Daytona is great then go for it. Exp 2s are all over for unbelievably low numbers

What would be a great price OTD from an AD and 10 year warranty on the Daytona steel with white dial?

How are you getting a 10 year warranty?

I have both and love both. I wear the Explorer II more often, as I like having the date handy. Also a lot more affordable.

You can't go wrong either way. Good luck!

Daytona, Daytona, Daytona! If you can get one, you should get it. If you can get one for a good deal, GET TWO!

Since you intend to get both eventually, I'm another on in the "if it's a good deal, get the Daytona group"

Buy and go for what you wanted and not for the price of it... having said that I'm leaning on the Expy Polar.

I had a white face Daytona flipped it for explorer 2 and some, Daytona too dressy and feminine for my liking!

Feminine !!!! Lol

Perhaps they'll make it 50 mm in the future and you might like it then.

Yeah I'm not actually referring to The size, it's actually because it has PCL and it's quite shiny around the watch face!

Really is hard to go wrong with this one. ExpII's can be found all day long. If you have the cash, go Daytona.
