Which one to flip for AP 15450: 114270 or 14060m?

I'm trying to get AP 15450, but in order to do that, I have to flip either 114270 or 14060m. My wrist is small at 6.25, but I think both watches fit my wrist pretty well.

Your thoughts?

Well, which one are you leaning towards 'flipping'?

I'd flip the explorer, keep the sub. Hard choice though. While I think the explorer probably looks more at home on your wrist, I just have never been a big fan of that explorer dial.

Well I like both watches, but big dimple at the center of the dial of 114270 (created due to reflection) kind of bugs me. However size-wise, 36mm fits better. This is really tough...

These two plus Nomos Orion weiss 35mm. I would like to keep my collection to 3 watches (sports + sports + dress) plus a G-shock.

There's your answer. Let the explorer go and get the AP.
Good luck deciding.

General rule...
Don't sell a watch that you like, to buy a watch that you MIGHT like.

I would keep both the rolies as they cover both the sports and dress looks.

Don't flip for a 15450, to small and you'll encounter a massive hit on value. 15400 or 15202 will be a better enter into AP domain
