Hulk or exp2 black 42
Guys i need your advice between the two above mentioned. Currently i own a sub 16610 and a black face daytona. I want to add another piece but cant seem to decide between the two. Hoping to hear from owners that have both.

I'd go for the expy in light of your 16610. Not a hulk fan despite wild popularity on TRF.
Don't want to consider a polar expy for some dial diversity? Good luck!

both very worthy additions, but, LVc because (i) you have two black dials, (ii) new subs are great, (iii) if you are anal about bezel scratches, the exp ii's finely brushed bezel will bother you, (iv) that green dial is sublime, (v) glidelock!, and (vi) the matte dial/glossy hand combo on the exp ii isn't executed very well.

Just went to my AD to pick up my explorer 42 black dial yesterday after I tried several other Rolex sport watches. I do really like the blackish/brownish dial + brush Bezel + the orange hand, and very comfortable for daily wear, even its size 42 mm. IMO, explorer 42mm is better than subc lv all around from the movement to the price, cause I dont like color watch and dont care much for diving.

I'd go with LV...but just because you have two black dial watches.

Beautiful pictures everyone!

Since the 1655 is my all time favorite Rolex timepiece, I give the edge to the Noir 216570, however, the 116610LV is a force to be reckoned with... The glideclasp is unbeatablle... I am actually wearing mine today...

Since your Sub & Daytona are both black face references already I say change it up with a Hulk or white face 216570.

I'd say subC on this one. The explorer is really fantastic in every aspect, but that sub is so classic and the green dial/bezel is so unique

I'm partial to black dials. Obviously. Lol. Get the Exp II. There's just so many special things about the Explorer. It's a great watch. I will never ever flip mine. Sorry I'm just not a fan of the Hulk. Don't get me wrong I love my Subs but never the green dial.
