What would you choose and why.
Explorer 1 39mm or Tudor pelagos?

Don't want a gmt, sub or exp 2.

Tks

I have the EXi and absolutely love it.

Thatguy · 3 September 2013, 07:50 AM

Flip a coin. No bad choice.

SWISSAHOLICS · 3 September 2013, 07:51 AM

Both are great....good luck.

mailman · 3 September 2013, 07:52 AM

If you want lo pro between these two then definitely the Exp

joe100 · 3 September 2013, 08:02 AM

Explorer. No question. One is a fine watch, the other an icon

Cc1966 · 3 September 2013, 08:03 AM

For low profile I would go with the Exp. Good luck

horseco · 3 September 2013, 08:04 AM

The Rolex 116000 is also a good option...

Trouble15 · 3 September 2013, 08:08 AM

Can't go wrong with either, good luck on your decision.

That's what I went with. There is No Date and if you take it off for a few days and it stops, you only have to worry about setting the time and that's it. Good to go.

Lucky777 · 3 September 2013, 08:53 AM

Exp I

cop414 · 3 September 2013, 08:56 AM

Both are great but I'd pick the Explorer, great heritage.

up2nogood · 3 September 2013, 09:11 AM

E1, Pelagos is nice enough but too big for the 'every occasion' watch.

Chainring · 3 September 2013, 09:13 AM

Low profile? Explorer.

iazrollie · 3 September 2013, 09:15 AM

White Milgauss?

2th Dr · 3 September 2013, 09:58 AM

Exp.

rolio · 3 September 2013, 10:05 AM

I would go AirKing all the way. But, if it's not in my list of choices, then Exp all the way.

Old Expat Beast · 3 September 2013, 10:07 AM

Explorer, and 36mm for even lower profile.

kilyung · 3 September 2013, 10:30 AM

The Pelagos is the superior tool watch. It's also the least bling.

Betelc · 3 September 2013, 11:07 AM

Exp1.

ralfcom · 3 September 2013, 11:13 AM

Explorer

The Explorer I gets my vote.

Imkman · 3 September 2013, 11:23 AM

Pelagos, great watch. Low profile, people will ask and admire but does not come with that rolex stigma (No rolex is low key)

Never liked the explorer line. GMTs just do it better.

GageTucker · 3 September 2013, 11:24 AM

EXP or 116000

Mikegp · 3 September 2013, 11:25 AM

I vote pelagos too.

OML · 3 September 2013, 11:30 AM

Get the Explorer - without question. The Tudor is attractive but contains a sourced ETA movement.

htc8p · 3 September 2013, 12:13 PM

low profile for me would be the oyster perpetual date.

busytimmy · 3 September 2013, 12:16 PM

I'd say GMT, Sub or Explorer II.
