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..
Hands down the DJ. Logo at 12, cyclops and bracelet are all unique Rolex brand cues that don’t date the watch but enhance it as a ‘timeless’ design. By contrast, the ‘Modern’ Rolex Explorer is the total opposite. Probably the dullest and most generic looking watch by any manufacturer. Those numerals simply scream ‘welcome to 1990’. Even Mercedes hands can’t save it.
