I'm thinking between an Explorer and a white dial 39mm Oyster Perpetual. The white OP is obviously a nice contrast to my black Explorer II. My two worries are:

1. No EZ Link extension. I use the EZ Link on my Explorer II every day.
2. I see a million of them for sale. It kind of worries me that so many of these are being flipped in short order.

My only concern with the Explorer is it's somewhat similar to my Explorer II; black dial, Mercedes hour hand, brushed oyster bracelet. Otherwise the Explorer is as clean and classic as it gets.

Cost isn't a consideration since they are pretty close. Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated! Pics if you have them.

Thanks so much!

Mike
Explorer 1 . Then you get a combo meal deal explorer 1 and 2.

It isn’t close. OP39 screams barely Rolex.
