Everyone is unique and some of the reasons I chose the polar are the same reasons some folks on here did not: 42mm case and orange hand and font. Some other reasons include dual time zone, readability, less common/under-the-radar, and the history of the watch. But the biggest reason is the way it felt when I put it on my wrist. Honestly it is a personal decision and you will be happiest with the watch that YOU like the best.

Submariner.
I know what is the date today and don't need gmt every day.

Jefferyasher · 8 January 2020, 12:53 PM

Sub!

mudd · 8 January 2020, 01:17 PM

Hard decision, however I chose the sub. Can’t go wrong with either.

Greatly prefer the Explorer II.

adawil2002 · 8 January 2020, 01:40 PM

Explorer II

stratguy · 8 January 2020, 02:00 PM

Sub by a mile. Also, you stated that you don't like the cyclops - the Exp II has one and the Sub does not.

scombs263 · 8 January 2020, 02:20 PM

For me, the Explorer II. But if you said the sub was a hulk, that would be a different story.

Maxy · 8 January 2020, 03:16 PM

You want to choose in between these two? Not fair.. looks great as pair!!

PNBLWZD · 8 January 2020, 03:28 PM

Polar followed by an SD43 to alternate black and white and have similar size, as a sub seems small after you wear an EXP2.

htc8p · 8 January 2020, 03:36 PM

Definitely the submariner. get the iconic rolex as your only one

no date = no problem

Submariner. A classic Rolex.

myporsche · 8 January 2020, 06:03 PM

I did both, they just play so well together in a collection and as daily wear.

BigJoe · 8 January 2020, 06:05 PM

Had the same decision and wound up with both... Polar and Bluesy.
