Do the two 'wear' similarly? I ask b/c over time I'm finding that my Exp II is wearing a bit 'top-heavy', if that makes sense. I always assumed that the Exp II was substantially heavier than a a DJII but it appears I'm mistaken:

I'd love to hear from those who've owned both!

I've owned both. A few times.

Imho the DJ2 is significantly more comfortable. I felt the Exp2, as much as I love the look, was just too big and unconfortable. I want another, but can't do it based on this concern.

The DJ2 on the other hand will for certain be back in my collection someday. Far more balanced and comfy.

I think it's a question of individual wrist size and shape...for me the DJ2 was kind of an "in between" size and hard to get a good fit while the EXP fits like a glove.

That makes a lot of sense. Agree with ur logic.

Isn't it odd the difference of a mm or two? One reason I am looking forward to Basel next year to see if the DJ follows the DD40 in coming down to 40 mm in case size...if so may be tempted to re-acquire one.

Thinking the same exact thing.

Can't wait to see it. I'm afraid I'll fall in love though.

I'd love to hear more opinions...

Are you talking about the Exp or E II?
