Which do you prefer?

Explorer 114270 or 214270? Can’t go wrong with either I’m sure. Just curious what you guys prefer of the two?

Prefer the MK1 214270. The size suits my wrist and frame better than the 36mm.

36mm is a bit too small for me so I do prefer the 39mm version. However are true classics in their own respect.

I tried the 36mm version and it didn’t sing to me. Owned the 214270 Mk I, same thing, and sold it. But I’ve been rocking my Mk II for two years strong and the love’s still there. 39mm all the way for me.

The 39mm version fits me best, but I like the 214270 better.
I don’t have either one, but have owned both in the past.

I had a 39mm with a MK I dial, but I sold it. I replaced with a 114270 that I still own. My wrist measures right at 7.5 inches, and I prefer the 36mm. I do really like the current Explorer, but not enough to swap around.
