Went to my local AD today and am hooked
So I stopped by my local AD today. Went to browse, been contemplating a new piece. They had a great selection. The salesperson was very nice as well. Tried the black Sub no date on, green Sub, and both new Explorer IIs. I absolutely loved the new Explorer II in Black, something about the orange on it. I put it side by side against my two tone Daytona and wow no comparison. I am on the edge at this point. Really thinking of pulling the trigger.

Ha . So now the question: I don't need to sell my Daytona but have been contemplating it for some time. So if you could only have one which would it be?

If you are on the fence, get a used on from a seller here on TRF. Save you the coin and then you can decide if you want to keep one or both.
I'd buy the watch from the AD if you are 100% certain you want it. Good luck with your decision.

Yep, the Exp II really is one of those watches you need to see for real in order to appreciate. There are some great photos of it here, but it's something you need to see, and hold in your hand

Sounds like a plan.
Which no date sub did they have? 14060 or 114060?

It's the watch they hand you when you walk into an AD and say "show me the awesome one"
