Great Pic! Nice to see the two of them side by side..

Though it is a matter of semantics, perhaps there is a difference between a "tool" watch and a "sports" watch. In my world a tool watch would offer a function beyond basic time keeping (hence the EXP I would be excluded)...while a sports watch would be for those engaging in an active life style.

By this definition then:
-EXP I is a sports watch
-EXP II is a tool watch and a sports watch
-In contrast, a DJ/DD is neither a sports watch or a tool watch.

Though by my logic then no other rolex watch qualifies solely as a sports watch...and I guess some might even consider a DJ/air king a sports watch!
