Hard to tell in the picture if your wrist can pull off the 42mm size of the Explorer II. Assuming you're comfortable with the fit, I have to say go with the Explorer II.

You're 20, it's more of a young man's watch.
It should hold up to much more abuse.
New bracelet, new technology.
It's a more versatile watch fashion wise.
Better warranty.
There maybe a lot of situations you don't want to wear a gold watch, let alone a vintage Rolex.

If you decide that 40mm size is a better fit, i'd be more inclined to recommend a SubC or a BLNR for someone in your position. Nice problem to have.

I never liked the ex2 myself and I am also looking for a TT sub in black for myself :)

So my vote is TT
