Advice on Explorer I needed please

Well, in the short time I have been on this forum, I have come to genuinely respect and value the comments and opinions of all of you. I have also gotten "a thing" about the Explorer I. And I am bound and determined that I am going to eventually get one.
My thoughts are: sell my Omega Seamaster Pro 36mm and my Omega Aqua Terra 8500. The Seamaster Pro is a great little watch, it's my every day work watch. The Aqua Terra is one of the most beautiful objects I have ever owned. But it gets little or no wrist time. It is a bit big for me at 41.5mm (not the fault of the watch, I was too impulsive, and should have waited and got the 38.5mm model). My Milgauss at 40mm is perfect. I also love the 36mm size of my Railmaster (that is a keeper) and the Explorer I.
Pics of the 2 watches I am thinking of selling:

Aqua Terra caliber 8500, 41.5mm, Teck-grey dial, ss bracelet


Seamaster Pro, 36mm


I realize that opinions on here will be slightly biased However, at least the sale of my Aqua Terra has been on my mind for some time.
The Explorer I would be my every day watch. I will probably end up liking it so much, I will wear it on weekends, too.
Any comments, or thoughts, will be greatly appreciated. I am not sure if I really want all of you to talk me into this, or should I just save for a while and get the Explorer I as well.

Cheers,
Carl
