Does anyone know if the 36mm Explorer wears smaller than the 5 digit datejusts?

chillwill120 · 14 February 2016, 03:11 AM

I know they both have a 36mm case size, but I've heard people say the explorer wears smaller b/c of the black dial.

I don't think so.

I thought the Explorer also has black dial.

That was a typo, my bad. I meant to say that people say the Explorer wears smaller b/c of the black dial. I realize that the datejust can have a black dial but I think white, champagne, silver etc seems to be more common.

I have the 114270 and 116264 and first time I felt the same but it's only an optical effect IMO. Both are amazingly comfortable. I'll try to post a pic later.

Very nice! Love your collection Carlos

Thanks for the pics. I'm considering a 16014 with a silver dial but I'm hoping it wears a little bigger than my old 114270.

Uuhhmm...not sure...cases are very similar! New datejust's lugs are bit different.

The bezel makes the DJ look bigger to me optical illusion or not it is definitely bulkier looking.

Nice collection. Agreed, to my eye the fluted bezel makes the look DateJust larger

I love your turn-o-graph, probably my favorite datejust out there.

I love it too! Hope I can add the white dial in the future! Totally agree...the best datejust IMO!
