For me, I’d say the sub. Gives you size and style diversity.

karleone · 20 February 2022, 11:47 PM

Keep the Sub!

Keep the Submariner.

Danny83 · 21 February 2022, 02:08 AM

Congrats

mikelprz · 21 February 2022, 02:11 AM

Keep the Sub if you really have to sell one.

jaySL350 · 21 February 2022, 02:25 AM

GGGMT · 21 February 2022, 02:42 AM

Gorgeous DJ. But I’d sell it and keep the explorer and sub.

Keep the Sub.

Meyrin · 21 February 2022, 04:15 AM

I´d definitely keep the Sub, especially as it's a no-date model...

And what do you base that opinion on?

Mine is my first and my favorite Rolex and it's very precise, after 14 years and one full service.

bmrk · 21 February 2022, 05:17 AM

I will also keep the Sub Congrats on your incoming

kxux · 21 February 2022, 06:18 AM

Looking at the fit of the DJ, I’d say keep the Explorer. I think your Sub may wear large on your wrist. 36mm seems to fit you perfectly.

Congratulations on the DJ, it’s very nice watch!

I'm going to assume that the quoted post was a reference to the current vs. previous Sub ND. Alas, both the Explorer and Sub have versions beginning "114" and "124" so it's difficult to tell for certain.

I think that you'll find far more people who have a strong Sub preference vs. a strong Explorer preference (within the realm of 36mm models). My preference for current Explorer is there, but I think the previous 36 is great

.

And while I might not call the previous Sub "terrible" it's way too blocky with its thick lugs, so perhaps I'm just seeing a statement I tend to agree with.

In your situation, I'd keep the Sub (I love the Exp as well). Great pair.

The parenthetical comment comes after the term "Explorer," but I guess one could draw the conclusion that it is the Sub that's being referenced. Neither the 114270 nor the 114060 are terrible watches.

They both share the 3130 movement, so any assertion that either is a terrible watches needs some clarification.

I'm not a fan of the super cases either, or whatever they were called.

myporsche · 21 February 2022, 08:27 AM

As much as I love the Exp, that's the one to go, I would also invest in a new cell phone with nicer camera.

True. However I took that as a poorly structured sentence where the parenthetical refers to the following comment, about keeping the Sub. If the Sub is to be kept regardless, why qualify the Explorer preference?

I have no idea.

RolexSimon · 21 February 2022, 09:16 AM

you need one with the date...... ditch the explorer.

tropicwatches · 21 February 2022, 09:24 AM

I'd keep the Sub, if only because the Explorer and the DJ are both 36mm

WAK4 · 21 February 2022, 09:32 AM

Exp would go for me, though I am fan of it. Sub is a staple in a collection IMO

SoylentGreenChi · 21 February 2022, 09:40 AM

I love the 36mm Explorer, but it’s too close to the DJ to keep both, so this choice is easy for me: keep the Sub to pair with the DJ.

Agreed with this. I've often considered adding a 36mm DJ (maybe two tone with a white dial) to pair with my two 36mm Explorers.

RayRay89 · 21 February 2022, 10:31 AM

You’ll loose money on any watch you sell. Keep it, budget a little more and keep.
