They're both great. I'd take a white dial Exp2, if I didn't already have my white Daytona. I'd probably take the Explorer 1 now. I have a tiny wrist, so size isn't an issue.

What exactly are we comparing here? The Explorer 2 is a 40mm watch with a date and a GMT hand.

Are you trying to compare a 114270 36mm Explorer 1 versusa 214270 39mm Explorer 2?

16570 because of the case size. The decision would be tougher if comparing it to the 39mm ex I

I prefer the extra time functionality of the Exp2.

I really like the exp1 and am looking forward to owning one soon. BUT if it was my only watch I would take the exp2, GMT or Sub date for the date function.

These watches shouldn't even have the same name they're so completely different.

The Explorer 1. The EP2 bezel worries me in terms of being hard to refinish, although I like the EXP2.

If I would of spent the extra over the Explorer 1 in my opinion a S/S Submariner or GMT Master 2 would be better.
