If it would be your first Rolex then get the Sub. You won't regret it. Its the most recognizable rolex sports model.

can't go wrong
If those are the two watches you have in mind, you can't go wrong. Just pick the one you like to look at more. There are more Sub's out there, so the Exp II may seem a bit more unusual.
To me, the Sub looks a little larger on the wrist. |

Welcome to TRF.
Yacht Master 's are is the same size as the Submariners. If you like large you may consider the Deep Sea also.

Either, I have both and love both. If you go with the Explorer II get the white dial. However, if you like big heavy watches the ExpII is not for you.

I'd be looking at the EX2 or an LV Sub.
