Which one should I get between an Ex1 36mm or Sub C No date?

Thank you.

travisb · 8 February 2016, 08:44 PM

Both are great historical classics. The decision is yours but I give the slight edge to the Sub.

oak3x · 8 February 2016, 08:47 PM

I vote for the Explorer, as it looks great with either business or casual attire.

doozyj · 8 February 2016, 08:56 PM

Sub no date.

itsmekevin · 8 February 2016, 08:56 PM

They're both great. I'm starting to prefer the Explorers now.. Even thinking about selling my Sub C date for one. Can't go wrong with either.

1William · 8 February 2016, 09:05 PM

I prefer the Sub but both are great watches.

fskywalker · 8 February 2016, 09:08 PM

Comparisson is odd as size is quite different; why not comparing the Explorer 1 39 mm instead versus the Sub C ND?

I think I like 36mm more than 39mm.

Justinmg · 8 February 2016, 09:46 PM

I've had both explorers and the subc. I ended up flipping them all, But if I had to decide I'd pick the Subc. I'd also consider the SDc or 14060

Dubarzy · 8 February 2016, 09:47 PM

Exp is my pick.

brandrea · 8 February 2016, 09:48 PM

Tough call. I'd give a slight edge to the Sub, but honestly the Explorer is a beauty too.
No wrong answer here

bigwatchman · 8 February 2016, 09:52 PM

Both great. Exp if you want to be different from everyone else out there. Sub if you want larger watch and an instant classic. Good luck.

cop414 · 8 February 2016, 09:56 PM

If it's going to be your one and only I'd go with the Explorer. Have you tried both on? As said above there's quite a size difference between the two. It'd be much more comparable comparison between the Explorer and a 14060 Submariner.

Mick P · 8 February 2016, 10:00 PM

I would opt for the Explorer purely because it is truly understated.

The Sub looks a bit casual whilst the Explorer can be worn with anything ranging from jeans and T shirt to an evening jacket.

Regards

Mick

joe100 · 8 February 2016, 10:13 PM

Explorer of course

ragingcao · 8 February 2016, 10:16 PM

My vote would be Sub LV C. Go big or go home if you're going to get a SS sub.
But if subtlety is the name of the game then Exp 36mm.

No wrong choice really.

paltak · 8 February 2016, 10:36 PM

Both are nice but the 36mm Exp is a classic. Plus it's about a third of the price.

AK1984 · 8 February 2016, 10:41 PM

Have you considered 14060M?

If you find an explorer I 36mm in minty condition, buy it. You always have time to buy de sub C.
