Help me decide

I'm sure this has been discussed before, as I have read many post on a ln Explorer ii (1216570) vs Sea Dweller (16600). And there seems to be a 50/50 split on what to get.
However, my collection currently has a 40mm Yachtmaster (126622) slate dial. And a Explorer 1 36mm (114270) black dial.

I am looking for something different and keep going back and forth with what to get. I like the white dial option with the Explorer since it's drastically different from what I currently have. However I had an older Explorer ii 40mm polar and got rid of it for my Yachtmaster. The sea Dweller is black just like my Explorer so I don't know if that gives me any more versatility than I have.

I would like to keep my purchase price under or at 10k.is there another Rolex that should be considered?
Thanks for your help.

Usual caveat ignore what random people say on forums and go for what you want but I personally would dump the Explorer 1 and get an Explorer 2 to leave the YM as the fancy watch and Exp2 as a daily/tool watch but then I prefer my watches 40mm or larger…

I'd go with the Polar Explorer II. I am not sure if you've tried on the Sea-Dweller but it is quite thick and the case back can be uncomfortable for some.

I tried a SD on a few weeks ago, it was big but not awful. I don't want a DJ, I have never cared for them.
