Final three

Hey all,

Just wanted your input before i pull the trigger. Just walked out of the rolex botique after trying on these peices. Which one from these three would you guys choose here are the wrist shots.

I know my fav. What is your collection so far and what are you looking for in your next watch?

Just my preference without any other input is the stick datejust fluted. Dressy and not at the same time.

Even though I love the DJ, I would get the Explorer out of those 3.

Like I said before, loving the white fluted DJII, that would be my pick. Not an Explorer II fan

All BEAUTIFUL pieces.

But since I own the Explorer II 216570, and without a doubt, love it more than anything (outside of family of course)... it is my pick.

Just out of the blue on a cold call,...I'd take the Exp2 but with a black dial.

White DJ II Fluted. I think it is the most versatile of the three.

Exp II looked the best on your wrist, but if you want a dress watch, then I would go DJ2 WG.

I bought the Explorer 2 already, it was and still is my favourite Rolex. Next I'm thinking WG DJ....I don't think I love the DJ2... But the DJ may be a bit small now I've got used to the gurth of my 42mm...
Okay, I'd take the WG DJ2 as I've already got the explorer 2 :)

No 2! But thinking out of the box I think a 36 mm DJ would also look really good on you.

Explorer. But, if you suggested the stick DJ with a smooth bezel, then that would be the clear winner.

Explorer II. Very comfortable watch. I've got the black one but the white is just as nice.

Explorer II is my favorite of the three, but since you have other sport watches, I'd go with the DJ white #2. Roman numerals on a watch don't do it for me.

I like the polar Exp 2. It is one of my favorite Rolex sport models and it looks great on your wrist. However, my attire is pretty casual so the Datejust 2 might suit you better.
