Help me decide what to buy! Explorer or Sub-C No Date

[bob78h]

Help me decide what to get for my next Rolex! I'm currently wearing a 36mm Explorer which I like, but due to my tiny 6" wrists I'm having trouble getting the clasp centered which is driving me nuts. I'm looking to flip it and get something with the new bracelet instead.

I'm looking at either the updated 39mm Explorer or the no date Sub-C. The Explorer lugs are curved so it feels like it wraps my wrist better, whereas the Sub is flatter and sits more on top of my wrist. The chunky, thicker case on the Sub gives it a lot more wrist presence whereas the Explorer blends in more as a part of my wrist.

Aside from that, I like both equally and am having trouble deciding what to get. I like the Explorer for its history (I tend to explore the outdoors rather than go diving) and how it is understated and less ubiquitous. It seems like a lot of people who buy a Rolex for the brand name buy Subs, and I don't want to give off that vibe. I'm also a little concerned that at my age (mid 20s) I'll get called out for having a fake Rolex since the Sub is so commonly faked (of course, I buy things for my enjoyment, not other people, but it would honestly irritate me a little to spend so much money on anything and have it mistaken for a fake). On the other hand, the Sub is a classic for a reason, and the chunky look is really growing on me, it is built like a tank. Also, even though I generally like the simplicity of the Explorer, on some rare occasions (when I'm dressed very casually in t-shirt/shorts) I feel like it is a little too plain and I want something with a little more wrist presence.

I only plan on owning one watch and wearing it for all occasions (hiking, skiing, the office, more formal events, a beer at the local bar, working on my car, etc). I don't want to look back in few years and not feel satisfied/get the itch to buy the other watch. I know many of you have (or have had) both, and I'd like to hear your wisdom on which one you wear more/would get as your only watch. Also, I'd appreciate opinions on which of the two you think looks better on my wrist (my 36mm Explorer included for comparison)
