36mm datejust or explorer 1 for second watch

36 mm datejust, smooth bezel, stick numbers, unsure of color thinking white or blue

Or

Explorer 1

I have the sub c which I love, no date...

Thoughts?

No date already, get the DJ. So many dial choices

Both great choices and I doubt you'd go wrong with either... How big is your wrist and have you considered the Polar? Good luck!

I agree, DJ would be (and was) my choice over the Exp.

Datejust. No question as you already have a black dial watch with no date.

This.

I'd go white dial romans, jubilee bracelet, and a fluted bezel. You'd have a great duo for any occasion.

Another vote for the Datejust. It gives you a real option.

Datejust ss with mop diamond dial and WG bezel on jubilee is stunning I'm very tempted at one I see at local ad window.

The Datejust is a very attractive piece. You can't go wrong.

Explorer 1, would be my choice. An elegant and understated classic watch.
