there's no right answer. both are historical in their roots and both in a single collection would be great balance. fwiw, buy either one now and the other later. i'd go for the THC to start.

I'm wearing my THC...

and I would say EXP 1.

My THC has had a misaligned bezel when I bought it, a stuck data mechanism, and both chrono button caps fall out, twice. All fixed by great service during the warranty period by Tudor.

My GMTIIc is my only mechanical watch that has never gone wrong.

Same parent company, not the same movements or validation of design.

I still love the THC though.

Out of the choices you consider I would go with the majority vote here - Explorer I. Good luck whatever you choose.
