New Rolex Explorer to compliment my Sea Dweller 4000?

I'd always planned on a second watch to accompany my SD4K. I wear tool watches mostly and have an Omega Speedmaster Professional moonwatch I wear with a suit.
My AD says he can put me first on the list for the Explorer but what do you guys think? I always find the comments and info on this forum really helpful.

I had been looking at an IWC Ingenieur as it is quirky and attracts me somehow but been drawn to the Explorer for quite a while and especially now the minute hand has been corrected (although thehour hand stem thickness bugs me a bit in comparison when looking at the minute hand thickness).

Part of me thinks I need a dial colour that needs to be something other than black although to my eyes, black dials always provide great contrast and legibility combined with the right hands.

Anyone else thinking of this or have the SD4K and any of the previous Explorers? Would like to hear your views.

My SMP and this next watch will be left to my 2 daughters when they are older and have no plans to flip these.
I have no other luxury watches due to recently downsizing my collection but may look at the Glashutte Senator 70s date chronograph if that helps.

Thanks in advance.
