Maybe if I spent more time with it in my hand....
I like the Explorer II but don't love it. I think the stainless steel bezel is the part that bothers me. Nothing wrong with it but it lacks the "pop" of the ceramic black bezel on the SMP.

My issue with the Daytona is its size. Just wears too small for my liking. I also really like having a date on all my watches. The white SMP is every bit as striking as the Daytona, more-so even with the black strap. And yes it has a date function, which I really love now that it's at the six position. Beautiful watch. 42mm is close to perfect for me.

I'm just waiting for the Snoopy release. If that doesn't knock my socks off I will probably be picking up a white Seamaster!
