A community for watch & horology discussion.
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..
I'm a no date guy for the most part. I just tend to wear them more often.
Explorer always by the looks - poorly no date :( which is something i must have

Left, no cyclops
To the left…..
Right
I’m not a fan of the explorer personally and I also think if you’re getting a DJ you should get the fluted bezel.
So I’m clearly not the person to ask but I’d still go DJ
Dj looks slightly better
Right
avoid cyclopes at all cost… too ugly
I like Explorer. Explorer and AirKing are two of my favorites. I’d get a Milgauss if they still made them.,
The explorer is a bit more sporty, and the datejust is a bit more dressy. I guess it just depends on your personal style. Are you more of a jeans and a t-shirt guy or a collared shirt and khakis guy? Personally I would have more occasions to wear the explorer, even though I prefer the looks of the datejust.
Datejust. The explorer is nice. I don't know. Get both. Fuck it.
Right
Right, I need a date in watches.
DJ for me.
I'm leaning Explorer because I Iike dates but hate date magnifiers.
They’re both kinda boring.
DJ, I need the date window as well.. but I would take the explorer any day as well. Can’t go wrong either way
👉🏽
Right
If you moved the polished center link bracelet over to the explorer with Mercedes hour hand, I would do it.. but I haven't read through this thread. Maybe someone already suggested this 🤔
The Explorer is the only Rolex I like

Having an Explorer or similar watch in your lineup is important. You want a watch that goes with almost anything, and can be dressed up or dressed down as needed. It’s like having a pair of really nice jeans that you can wear with almost anything.
Explorer all the way. What the Explorer has done for watch design is analogous to what Apple has done for computers.
Right hands-down.
Right
Explorer, I dislike cyclopes so much
I would keep the DJ
Honestly this picture alone just made me realize that I like the DJ more than the Explorer. I always thought I was an Explorer kind of guy but idk anymore.

The right. I have a 1600 that I kept over a 114270.

Damn this is hard. My two favorites. I honestly cannot pick 😠
I like big numbers and I cannot lie. But I like a watch with the date… Keep both!
I hate a cyclops. I dislike the Mercedes hand. Otherwise they're both unreal amazing. I'd go explorer.
Left
Left without a second thought
Right. Explorers are horrible
Very nice
I’d do anything for the explorer. It’s the grail.

Explorer all day.
Keep the explorer
Datejust on a oyster bracelet with the smooth bezel always looked odd to me so I would go with the Explorer.
datejust 100% i hate the numbers, the date is just nice.
the explorer has for me never been a nice rolex.
