Thank you all in advance for any advice/help that you can provide. I currently own a IWC Port 5001-07 and a Tudor Pelagos. I am looking for a watch to add to my current collection. I have narrowed it down to the Omega Co-Axial Chronograph 44mm or the Rolex Explorer 2 in the white dial. I don't know how much it matters but I plan to have/own the Panerai 233 in a few yrs. Thanks again!

Explorer 2 Polar is a great watch and much thinner than the Omega.

Your choices are all over the map: what are you really looking for? A chronograph? A GMT?

If the PAM 233 is your dream watch why not look for a pre-owned one and just have it serviced by Panerai and you're good as new.

I am looking more for the look and not function and what would look best with my current collection. I have purchased/sold too many watches in the past. I am trying to be smart and buy that right watch that has a classic/timeless look. Sounds odd I know, but that is how I think. It's a very long story but the Pam 233 is not an option right now.

It might also be interesting to consider vintage which could give you classic and timeless: a vintage Coke or Pepsi GMT, an older Speedmaster, or Tudor "Big Block" Chrono. Lots of fun without the depreciation of new.
