Explorer is my vote

Rolex Essex · 29 November 2018, 01:43 AM

Tbh I would use a Tudor as daily beater or even an Omega.
Or perhaps get a preowned Explorer.

abozz · 29 November 2018, 01:44 AM

126300 because have the new 3235 movement.

soran · 29 November 2018, 01:46 AM

I'd go for the Exp1. I like the low key under-the-radar factor

Mystro · 29 November 2018, 01:53 AM

DJ41. Classic everyday Rolex watch for decades. I like a little more “pop” in my watch.

eltonbalch · 29 November 2018, 02:09 AM

The OP should really include the Oyster Perpetual 39 mm as a possibility. It’s kind of a nice middle ground between the Explorer and the DJ 41.

I actually looked at the OP 39 and felt it's not as durable as the 2. Of course it's still a very solid watch but I ruled it out from my list.

I thought about the Aqua Terra as it looks and feels very solid. However given the deal I am getting from the Rolex AD I felt they are better options, as I didn't expect I could actually feel the steel difference between these 2 brands.

These two are equipped with the same movement. In my view, they are both equally durable.

Thanks for all the comments. At last, I picked a DJ 41 blue dial with oyster bracelet. I feel my daily activity is not that extreme and the DJ will survive just fine. Plus I was able to get a new one for just under $6100 at the end. I think that's a better all rounder for me that I can still beat it up reasonably if I need to.

RRGHOST1 · 29 November 2018, 08:51 PM

Both nice watches but would probably pick the DJ as its a bigger watch. Would get the bracelet brushed too.

Congratulations! Enjoy it.
And it can handle a lot, I have few friends who do wear it everyday for years now and still looks good.

126300 DJ has the bigger power reserve which is nice if your going to rotate watches. But the lime on the Explorer is better. Can't go wrong with either though.

J.W.S · 30 November 2018, 09:39 AM

I had an explorer 39mm. I sold it and I bought a DJ 41.

Rolex fan 61 · 1 December 2018, 10:45 PM

Explorer.

yannis · 1 December 2018, 10:46 PM

Between the two probably DJ41.

jaySL350 · 2 December 2018, 12:26 AM
