I cannot decide, subc no date or explorer 1

[chrisrolexguy]

I love both, can only have one, I'm a hairstylist, love the classic style of the sub no date, love the minimalism of the explorer1, I want something I can beat up and not worry about it. Sub is more sporty where as explorer is more dressy...

Help any thoughts ?

I have owned both and the Submariner would be my pick.
The Explorer is a fantastic watch, but there is just something about a Sub:)

Sub C is more versatile IMO. I have one and I could easily where it every day every where. The E1 is a great watch, but it's too subtle sometimes.

Subc

[Dittox]

I would go for the SubC

I had a exp 1 ,for 9 months ,,, beautiful watch , just something missing , hard to discribe really ,, traded it for sub nd. ,, couldnt be happier ,, no regrets

[Nobody.Move]

I have both (Sub 5513 + Explorer 114270) and so should you!

[SoonerTA]

I wouldn't hesitate...Get the Sub!

[toomuchtalk]

Explorer.

[RollieVerde]

Sub c is a dive watch. Don't get it if you don't dive. The Explorer is a classic all-around timepiece, and built to take punishment. It's perfect.

If you want people to know you're wearing a Rolex, go for the Sub. The Explorer is far more subtle. In terms of sporty or dressy, they're equal. I recommend the Explorer because there are likely to be far, far fewer of them. I wonder what the numbers are...?

size ,,,,, try both , think for a while , buy the one you cant put down ,,,, buy pre owned and you may just be able to stretch both for the price of either new ,,, or a little more ,, hows that for an idea

Spot on.

[kaseri]

SubC first and then the Explorer 1.

[Rashid.bk]

SubC easily.

[Ferran_vc]

I have the same problem every morning...😎
Now seriously, both are icons, blend perfectly in any environment and are heavy duty tool watches so whatever you decide you will be happy.

I've personally had both and I've personally sold both.

Sorry i'm no help lol

Sub c no date

[kilyung]

Either is a fantastic choice

[Robday]

Ok, so not trying to be silly here, but as a hairstylist, you may at some time or another need to use the bezel on the Sub to check on elapsed time (under dryer; since applying color; etc), especially if you have multiple clients at once...just a thought.

I vote Sub, but I'm considering the Exp I as my next.

[Catyack]

Explorer hands down. Larger dial, wears flatter, and dresses up more nicely than a sub.

Sub

I love both, but I would get a Sub way before I would get the Explorer.

[sea-dweller]

Both great watches! They are two of my favorites!

[HogwldFLTR]

Left with a similar choice back in May I chose one. Can't regret the decision I made. Definitely the right choice. It is just such a Rolex icon; no-one should be with out one. BTW, how many threads are you going to ask this question in; this isn't the first one. Try checking some of the other threads on the same subject you started.
