I don’t call anything iconic because I’m not tethered by marketing.

The Explorer but 39mm for me. I might feel differently if I had a Sub and would maybe go for the simpler and slightly more dressy design of the OP.

I love the new OP’s but the Explorer clasp and sportier dial won me over.

Best of Luck,
MM

Double markers at 3-6-9 on OP are a deal breaker. Otherwise it’s amazing

Agree 36 mm blue with 3-6-9 dial is amazing

Sounds like somebody considers himself iconic.

It would be the OP for me. I have a SubC and Z-Blue, so I'm partial to dials w/o numerals.

OP for me. The look is clean and versatile. The 39mm is perfect for a medium size wrist. Although I see an Explorer coming in the near future. Good luck!

I really like the OP's, but there is just something about the Explorer.

Of the two, OP

I generally dislike Arabic numerals on the main dial
