Yeah I'm keen on the new one too but waiting until August/September or longer would kind of defy the point of congratulating myself on the new job/graduation in May ;( the lume is bloody fantastic though - good luck resisting the purchase!

I own both and would say the explore is definitely more comfortable of the two.

214270
116610
<7" wrists
214270 definitely wears smaller. I suspect it is due to the clasp size.

214270 or 114270. The extra large sub crown always bothered my wrist. 214270 is supremely comfortable. You'll forget it's even on wrist.

214270 smokes it.

Much better than the. 114060 I had - the Explorer is the only 6 digit I like, prefer 5 digit Sub/GMT

How about a 116000 Blue 3 6 9? You can even substitute in explorer hands to make it effectively a blue 36mm explorer with updated bracelet :)
