My next watch

I am after a new watch. I currently own a breitling super ocean heritage chronograph 46 (I know I know ) and a rolex GMT BLNR. Im after one more watch though for now. I want something I can wear everyday. Discrete but quality. I have narrowed it down to these three. Please vote

- Tudor Black Bay (red)
- Rolex Submariner (14060/14060m)
- Rolex Explorer (36mm)

The BB would go nicely with the other two.

Tudor BB, different color and look than your other two.

Adds another brand to the stable too.

Out of three above I'd go Explorer. To add more fuel to the fire what about a Milgauss?

36mm Explorer, I think it's the best looking watch out of those, with the submariner (preferably a two liner) as a close second.

Seems its pretty even

I do agree that the tudor would add the most diversity to my collection, and I love how many people don't even know what Tudor is.

The sub is just so iconic, I would be after a two liner.

Explorer is probably the one I'm least sold on, however again, In person when I tried it on I loved it...

I will call back tomorrow and see where the poll is up to

I voted Tudor because the Sub looks like a GMT. How about a polar Explorer II?

I have a 114060 and BLNR and they go great together, but I've been been very tempted by the 36mm explorer lately. There's just something svelte and understated about that watch, everytime I see my friend who wears one I want to snatch it off his wrist. So despite my current pieces I'd say Explorer.

I haven't seen them other than at an AD, but the milgauss and explorer ii are the two watches which I am yet to really admire. I find both to be very honest not what I would expect from Rolex, and I currently am trying to stay clear of them.

Im sure they are actually incredible watches, but right now I don't feel ready for them.

39mm Explorer I. You have a 46mm Breitling, 36mm Explorer might look too small to you. Either way, try them on if you can.

I'd say the Tudor. Out of curiosity why not the Pelagos? It seems to offer nearly SDDS capability at 1/3 the price. They have a black bezel and face or a blue bezel and face. For uniqueness to your collection I'd go blue.

The Explorer is too bland for me, but I've not ever put one on. My only suggestion is think about not buying the Sub... will you secretly wish you had it (or not secretly)? if so then just get the sub, it's probably an inevitable purchase.

Editing my previous post... I should have said the Pelagos offers nearly SD capability. It's nowhere near the SDDS.

Have you tried them all on? You have a range of sizes there. I voted Black Bay for the colour, but they're all great watches. Good luck.

I'd go for the Explorer, although I think the 39mm version is much nicer, and if you like the look on your wrist of the other 2 watches, the 39mm Explorer is likely the better choice.

This x2. I voted 36 explorer but the 39 explorer is my favorite SS Rolex.
