This option is also available.
What do You think?

OP 39 black....looks better suited to your style of dress. I’m not a fan of the first DJ you tried. 214270 is a great watch, but for some reason it doesn’t look as good to me in your photos as the OP on you

explorer 1 mk2. i bought one and it really grows on you. just subtle yet classic.

Thanks. Maybe to think about white OP39?

Totoro · 24 July 2018, 09:46 PM

From your pics. I think the OP works better than the Explorer. Coming from a guy who owns an Explorer. However the other option of a datejust would be ideal. Working in an office. It is nice to have the date handy.

The OP is a great all arounder, the 5mm easy link and the clasp are cool but they worth the extra 1000$? I love the Embossed crown on the 114300 OP, its different and wont wear down or scratch up.
I also love the Sunburst black dial on the 114300 OP, more charismatic.
I think you can wear the 114300 on the weekend with shorts and a tshirt as well as with a suit.

I got the explorer last December. It's my one and only Rolex and will be for a while.
I wear it daily, sleep with it, very rarely off my wrist. The lume and the Mercedes hands are easily readable day or night. I work in heavy manufacturing & why I didn't go for a model with PCLs. I expected it to be marked and chipped by now but it's held up really well for 8 months daily wear. I thought the extension link would never be used but found myself extending it during the warm weather we've had lately. A great addition to the oyster bracelet. I ordered an Everest rubber strap and am currently awaiting delivery.
Superb watch, I really can't fault it.

I am a fan of the Explorer, I own one and I am extremely happy with it. Very comfortable on the wrist, great everyday watch. The Oyster Perpetual looks also good on you, but it lacks the easy link. I might get the white dial down the road, saw it in Basel and loved it! It would make a great pair with my Explorer.

What about black dots on white dial? I think they are too black and disbalance the dial.

Explorer 1, trust me.

Have you tried it on? In real life they are not that noticeable. At least that is my opinion based on the photos I took at Baselworld.

The safe bet is the Explorer. Classic, balanced dial, easy to read at a glance. Go for it, you will not regret it!

Dpop24 · 25 July 2018, 02:54 AM

That black dial DateJust looks like the winner to me! Looks great with your suit.

The Prof Rolex Exp1 at my AD costs absolutely the same, as DJ41.

If you need a date, then choose the DJ41! it looks fantastic with a suit. I have a DJ36 silver dial that I wear on special occasions. My daily driver is the Explorer.

Choose with your heart and pick the one that puts a smile on your face!

faz · 25 July 2018, 05:23 AM

You started with the two, from which I was going to suggest OP (more dressy, crown on the dial, classy for a daily formal wear), but then you added the DJ41, which to me is a much better choice than the other two for a formal everyday watch, especially since Date is important to me.

So from those three, DJ41 is my recommendation, followed by OP, followed by Exp1 which I love, but not for your purposes.

Thanks! If DJ - black dial with markers or slate with roman?

VOT · 26 July 2018, 01:17 AM

Maybe to look at the white OP39 instead of black? What do You think? Or is it more sporty?

Won’t make that much of a difference. Your personal preference. For me the stock markets are timeless and less busy.
