Love em both, too hard to pick one. OP is a touch dressier but still sporty, while the 114270 is a classic. Rotate em.

Exp1 because in one or 2 years you will still be having your $5000.

OP no question for me. More contemporary, a little more elegant, still good lume, more interesting sunburst dial and just as tough as the Explorer. Tough choice though. Obviously the explorer is a great, classic peice.

If it was nearly any other OP I would have chosen it over the Explorer I, but because it is the 36mm black dial OP I would have to go for the Explorer I.

Explorer vs Oyster Perpetual

They are both great for daily watches, so it just depends on which look suits your lifestyle better.

If you dress up daily or regularly I would definitely say the OP has the advantage, if not, either will be a good choice.

Similar watches, however I'd go for the Explorer with the more subtle and refined case and lugs.
