Hi All,

My father is currently holidaying in HK and said he is more than happy to help me pick up a potential 2nd rollie. What with the exchange rate being $1 AUD = $7.8 HKD how can I say no !?

My first (and only) rollie is a Date model but for my second watch I am planning to get a no-date watch.

Here are my preferences:

- Explorer 36mm
- Sub (no-date)

My dilemma is that I have a 6.5' inch wrist and am worry about the size and weight of the Sub. The Sub will definitely be a change from my formal-ish Date model though.

The Explorer looks pretty clean but is it too similar to my Date?

What does everyone think? Which should I get?

I say get the Sub, it will be a great addition for you and the size should not be an issue, I also have a 6.5 wrist
