Sub-C VS. Explorer II 42mm

[Solo118]

Both would be black dials!

I have been staring at the Explorer lately, it is just visually stunning. It also appears to have less bling than the Sub-C. Must be due to the shiny ceramic bezel.

The question is, how does it wear compared to a SubC? I noticed the Sub wears very big for a 40mm watch. The crown bothers me sometimes, and the clasp is a bit large for my taste (but not a deal breaker imho)

The Explorer 42's case has a nice taper to it, but does it actually wear about the same as the Sub? Anyone have any side to side photos? Note that I have a smallish wrist at around 6.25"

Does anyone have any further comments, and if it would be wise to obtain an Explorer II to replace a Sub-C (cant have both unfortunately)

Thank you in advance!

PS: I know nobody has a crystal ball, but does anyone think an Exp II will retain value as well as the Sub does? I noticed the 16570 sells very cheaply.

Thanks again
