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..

Left- I have the strong personal opinion that date wheels are even more of an obsolete complication than the mechanical watch itself is an obsolete tool. They break up symmetry of the face numerals/indices and gets in the way of the beautiful patterns or finishes. A tourbillon is useless, but at least it looks cool, is a complicated complication and exists because some one just felt like it.
