Help with next Rolex

Hi guys,

I am currently looking to purchase my next Rolex and would like to hear peoples thoughts. I currently have the SS DJ shown below. I am now looking to buy a sports model and like the Explorer II with white dial to contrast against my current Rolex or the Submariner as it is the classic sports Rolex.

Please let me know your thoughts

I'd pitch in with the GMT IIc in SS. I think that represents everything that is great with Rolex at the moment, plus the bracelet will feel reassuringly similar to your DJ. The bracelets on the Sub and the Exp II feel a little cheap in comparison, in my opinion.

I'd agree with Chris - don't just limit yourself to the Exp 2 or Sub because the new GMT2c is a great watch (unless cost is a factor). If it was a straight choice between the two you mentioned, I'd pick the Sub - as you said, it is a timeless classic.

Hmmmmm Sub is a classic but you see so many. White Explorer is a little more understated and a great contrast.

I can't make that decision but whatever you choose will be a great watch.

I love that DJ...it's so cool!
