After acquiring Explorer 1, it makes sense to go to the next level; Explorer 2. ;-)

DJ White or Rhodium Dial Fluted, Exp 2 Polar, Sub, GMT... The only things I would consider too similar are OP, non fluted DJ, air king.

Well, that escalated quickly haha. If DD is your jam, I’d add color and go for YG or RG.

im thinking of YM40 RG or DD 40 RG or Lange Saxonia or DJ41 blue or Sub 116613 bluesy

I wear a suit 50% at work. Rest of the time dress shirt.

I think i need dressier watch.

Used to own lange 1 and Sea Dweller. That was great 2 watch meal deal combo

Now i have Exp1, Seamaster diver, IWC Pilot. Thinking of adding something else. DD40 seems to hit the mark, as does DJ41

Didn't you get the memo ? Explorer1 is a collection killer . One watch that does it all !

But how can anyone only have one watch ..

I have Explorer 1. Omega SMP blue dial , Pelagos blue , Monta Triumph , a few Seikos and Hamiltons

Need to thin out things.

It makes sense to get a model with date.

DJ, GMT, DD.
If budget allows you......Explorer-DD is a smashing duo to have!

If you can afford a DD40 Meteorite dial, definitely go for that. Stunning watch.

Who would say no to that. Do you honestly need strangers to help you spend your money.

Depends of your budget, I can not afford a DD meteorite, but BUY IT if you can afford it, is precious!

So true. 20+ watches but the simple and second least expensive watch i own, the exp1, gets the most wristtime.

This is so true. X1 is the ultimate watch. I’ve had 3 at varying times. Lol

I have a 214270 and have a Sea-Dweller incoming. After that I’ll be looking for a dress watch.
