Explorer I, for sure. It fits your wrist perfectly, and the low-lustre, black dial works perfectly with your complexion.

Agree on all accounts.

Explorer I

Hamstur · 2 July 2018, 09:36 AM

Another vote for Explorer 1, but with full lume and full length hands if possible

Muxi · 2 July 2018, 10:57 AM

Explorer 1 for me no doubt

sutats · 2 July 2018, 11:26 AM

I pick the Explorer because it exudes class and has Paraflex shock absorbers. Do you need my address?

BTW, use the Poll function for next time so you can see the responses more easily.

Bxtek · 2 July 2018, 11:36 AM

You really can't go wrong with any of these watches imo. However, the Explorer II would be my pick. I've always loved the look of it, plus I like the GMT and date features which the others you're considering do not have. The Polar looks good, but would you consider a black dial? I think with a black dial, it could go with either dressy or casual attire imo.

I agree that the Explorer II looks the largest on your wrist, but I think it looks good since that seems to be the trend nowadays. Larger diameter watches are the modern style today.

Good luck with whichever you decide. In the end, they are ALL nice watches!

Hi All,

Just wanted to say thank you for the great feedback. Ended up getting the Explorer 2 and I could n't be happier.

Here are some additional watch photos.

Exp II by a mile, Milgauss is too flashy for only and the Exp is WAY TOO boring! Exp II is just right

Duke of Dulwich · 9 July 2018, 04:11 PM

Congratulations!!!

Navarino · 9 July 2018, 04:20 PM

Congrats on the EXP II! Enjoy it in good health!

Frank McKay · 9 July 2018, 04:25 PM

Explorer

fishingbear · 9 July 2018, 04:38 PM

Congratulations on the 216570!

Rashid.bk · 9 July 2018, 04:50 PM

Of those options, the X1. It also looks best on you imo.

Edit: Just saw the update, Congrats on the Exp ll. You should have added a few more dollars and got the rose gold CHNR.

I'd take the 42mm Polar and the Z-Blue. Which in fact I did! A wonderful contrast of styles and colours. It makes you positively want to rotate them. If I absolutely had to chose one, it would be the Polar. But I'd really try for both. Life isn't a rehearsal.

Harry-57 · 10 July 2018, 05:35 AM

I just saw your later post. Congratulations. Beautiful and usable watch.

Expl. 1

Jmbarrack · 10 July 2018, 05:40 AM

Explorer 1 gets my vote.

droptopman · 10 July 2018, 05:47 AM

I like the 216570 Polar the best, but the 114270 Exp looks better on you. Hard to beat a classic black dialed watch like the explorer for a one and only.

Boaters · 10 July 2018, 05:51 AM

Exp II Polar .. Good choice

thesharkfactor · 10 July 2018, 07:17 AM

I would have either of the Exps.. probably the II.. I have a secret love affair with a white dial II..

Astroturf · 10 July 2018, 08:25 AM

Congratulations. I’m jealous!

Explorer 1. It’s the best looking and most versatile in my own subjective opinion
