Swapping back and forth all of the time is getting to be a monotonous. I would like to sell one and keep the other. In the beginning I was very partial to the explorer but sometimes I can’t imagine not having the date function. Plus the DJ does sit a larger on the wrist and that is also nice. Tough choice here to just walk away with one…So help me decide because I am really at an impasse with this..
For a black dial, the Explorer has always felt like a more well-balanced design. The brushed case, the 3/6/9 against the black dial, and lack of the white date wheel makes it feel like a more cohesive package to me. With different dial colors, I think the Datejust really shines, and it would be a harder choice. Just my opinion though - both beautiful watches.
