Most will say explorer. But that BLRO speaks to me in a daily way

Definitely the Explorer. Only a black-and-white watch will truly go with anything.

People that haven’t been collecting for a while aren’t used to classic sized watches

However I do agree my other watches feel huge in comparison. But I love the light, easy wearing 36 explorer and my wrist is only 7”

Fair point. She’s been collecting for many years.
Most on the smaller side. I just think you have bigger than average wrist so sometimes you have to veer away from the “classic” norm. Although I don’t think it’s too small per sae, I just think the Milgaus and BLRO have that perfect size for your prooortions . All 3 are lovely nevertheless!!

Edit:
Wow after seeing it on that nylon I changed my mind a bit lol

I’d wear them all. Probably rotate once a week. This way you get a week on the wrist with each and truly enjoy it.

That’s the good stuff. Explorer all the way.

No knock on the others, but it really sets off the tattoos better as well. Great juxtaposition.

Explorer for me, but I'd be happy wearing any of them.

Perfect 1-2-3 collection!

For my personal style, the Explorer would be my daily. I’d probably never take it off.

Explorer for me. But I've never been a huge GV fan, and find the BLRO too big for my liking (personally).

As for how I typically rotate my watches, I have three I wear frequently and tend to alternate two at any given time (so they keep enough power reserve to keep going). Then, I'll change it up every so often.

Ridiculous... it doesn't look too small at all. I would take a slightly smaller reference over one of the clownishly large watches any day.

I'd probably pick the Explorer for myself.

But for you, I think the Milgauss looks the best on your wrist.

Explorer for me… but I’m biased as I have a 14270. If it were a 5 digit GMT I could make an argument for that as well. The 6 digits are wonderful pieces but I think just a little bit on the showy side for an every day wear when it’s on the jubilee. Still kicks butt though.

For my wrist it would be the BLRO, but for yours, I'd say the Explorer (even though I'm not a fan of Explorers).

I just think the steel/black look works the best with your ink. So I actually think a submariner would be your perfect daily. Maybe you can go get one of those and let us see :)

I understand the Explorer getting the popular vote, but damn that Milgauss looks great and that is my pick! It was my daily wearer for about a year and it wears great. I had the Explorer for a few weeks and it was just too average in my opinion unless I had it on a nato. I know some people like it for that reason and that's cool, but it just wasn't for me.

I’m partial to the Explorer, but that Milgauss looks great on your wrist. Definitely Milgauss of the three IMHO.

Explorer is a good understated watch and black dial goes with everything.

Surprised on popular decision of the explorer! I figured a lot of people would have thought it was too small for me
