Explorer 214270 and Oyster Perpetual 116000

Hi, does any senior has more knowledges on these two pieces..? Other than 39mm over 36mm, movements 3132 over 3130.
Any other differences..?

Thank you :)

I'm a senior and I've chosen both the 41 mm DJII and the 36mm 116000 over the 39 mm Exp. From my perspective the one down side is that the hand on the Exp are more legible in the dark. Now there will also be a 39 mm OP coming out shortly if you like the styling of the OPs better that the Exp and want the 39 mm size. I don't think there is a significant difference between the models otherwise.

Senior not in term of age, it's the years of membership in this forum. I joined few months ago, I am very junior here. And thank you very much, for your information and perspective... 😊

sorry, hard to keep from laughing...

No, aside from a different case, different dial, hands and movement and different bracelet, they are pretty much the same..
