Left is the newer expedition north solar powered 36mm (sapphire crystal is flat, screw down crown and 100m water resistant).

No idea what the one on the right is specifically, but back says “Stainless Steel Case / Water Resistant / Circa 2008”. Also the crystal is domed. Case diameter seems identical. Quartz not Solar.

What would be your preference between the two and why? Curious what people pick.

"Accidentally"

Sell both, get a murph.

I am normally a sucker for colour accents, but the left is better executed, and solar. Left for me, no question.

Right one is a J.Crew exclusive.

Owned both at one point. Sold 'em both and got a Seiko SCXP155.

Left all day, I had the right J Crew x Timex watch for a while. Grabbed it while thrifting. It's cool, I like the faux aging. But the laser etching on the back felt course, and from what I remember the Lume was either fake or weak. The left one looks just better built with raised indices and definite lume. Yup, left all day!
