Mountains, or moon?

S.Explorer · 22 September 2023, 02:24 AM

Easily the Explorer for me.

That's a nice early 14270 'blackout' model you have there

KatGirl · 22 September 2023, 02:24 AM

I’ve owned both. I will be wearing my 124270 on my honeymoon, to Yosemite National Park, in two weeks. Yikes!

The Explorer, for the mountains or anywhere else! The Speedmaster has never been my cup of tea, but that's just me...

GolfJunkie · 22 September 2023, 02:47 AM

I own an Explorer but I'm choosing the 321 here.

I agree completely. There really isn't a situation that the Exp1 (especially in 36mm) can't be suited for, save for the formalist of affairs. The Speedmaster is neat & I respect it & it's history, but it's not for me. Chronographs aren't really for me. Wore a chronograph every day of my Navy career & never actually had a need to time anything except anecdotal data.

I feel the same way about chronographs, in general, but there is something very special about a black dial wind up Speedy, with the hessalite crystal. I regret selling mine. As for the Daytona, I don’t get the appeal.

Lovely photos - Explorer is the easy choice for me

996marty · 22 September 2023, 03:39 AM

For me I’d be choosing the explorer

Gerry62 · 22 September 2023, 07:28 AM

Explorer for me

Nads786 · 22 September 2023, 08:51 AM

Speedmaster for me. I find the exp1 photographs well but just doesn’t do it for me in person.

The 321 is such a better watch it’s not even a contest.

brandrea · 22 September 2023, 10:41 AM

Awesome duo my friend.

As much as I love your Explorer the 321 is in another league

Jackie Daytona · 22 September 2023, 11:00 AM

I’d go Explorer

Lol @ choosing the 14270 over the Ed White.

I mean this in the most constructive way possible -- some of y'all need to look into other brands every once in a while.

Rebel · 22 September 2023, 11:15 AM

Explorer

Kenny G · 22 September 2023, 11:25 AM

Love both…and even not being a huge Omega fan, I’d still have to take that 321 over the Ex1 in a heartbeat.

Looks right at home! I sure do love wearing mine in its natural habitat (unfortunately less likely I’ll be able to do the same for my Ed White).

Honestly the Ed White is hard to beat period, one of the best watches on the market IMO.

Thanks Brian. You might even say the 321 is out of this world

Look closer - not a standard 14270

Ed White is hard to beat regardless, but I do love the Explorer (and mountains).

travisb · 22 September 2023, 08:22 PM

The 321 is absolutely gorgeous but I'm choosing the explorer for adventures.

rmlovett1 · 22 September 2023, 08:42 PM

I’d go Exp

Steph-paul · 22 September 2023, 08:55 PM

Love the speedy, but I prefer Exp.

padi56 · 22 September 2023, 09:00 PM

Neither for me but both great watches.
