From your list, the 214270 full lume would be what I would pick. It's a solid gateway drug into the brand. I believe the new OP39 black dial is in sunray if you need more oomph from the matte black.

If you have narrowed it down to a 39mm Oyster variant which I count the Explorer 1 as, then it sounds like your question is more about black vs white dial.

From your choices, I would go white dial if for no other reason than for some variety. I’ve worn the Speedy for 5 years on its own and just added the bluesy to the mix to spice it up, knowing there’s always the trusty and stealthy Speedy right there. Don’t think I’d be happy with two black dials just because of the “same-ness.”

How do you "pair" a watch with another? OP, why not just but a Rolex you like?

No need to get overly technical. OP clearly means best pick to "complement" his Moonwatch in a 2 luxury watch collection.

I have the Black dial OP39 to go alongside my Speedy. This watch is perfect and I wear it probably 5-6 days/week with my Speedy filling in the other 1-2 days. It’s a killer combo. That white dial OP looks beautiful, but I’ve not seen one in person yet. Good luck!

Sub or Datejust, as all three are must-haves for any serious watch person.

I would choose op39 or a Tudor based on your budget.
