Winner!

39mm Explorer and 42mm Explorer II or the Submariner date or GMT Master II

If I would have to chose only one watch as my only watch forever it would be the Exp39.
If I could chose 2 they would be Exp39+DD40.

IWC 'Spitfire' .........

Depends if you need a true dress watch for more formal occasions. In that case, #2: Calatrava (ALS 37 and Reverso also good choices).

Fat_ninja · 24 April 2019, 09:39 AM

Yg DD40

Explorer I & II. Remember, 100m is more than enough to dive (average diver=30m).

GrantD · 17 January 2022, 12:52 AM

Sub date? Every collection should have at least 1 sub

I only just saw the date, holy mother of thread resurrection

MJ EXPLORER · 17 January 2022, 12:34 PM

Explorer (36 or 39) with a polar Explorer II would be an amazingly cool combination!

Explorer is clean, more classically sized and monochromatic.

Explorer II is a big sporty watch with GMT feature and date.

Great looking watch! I tried on the L and XL chrono and both felt great. Does the bezel scratch easily? I’m not all that gentle somehow on watches

amanbra · 17 January 2022, 12:39 PM

DJ i reckon, dressy and has a date to complement the simple 3 hander...

denmanproject · 17 January 2022, 01:16 PM

Something with a white dial on leather strap

afmars · 17 January 2022, 01:49 PM

Depends on which complication would be useful for you, but I’d personally go with a GMT.

Cartier Santos or a fluted DJ on jubilee bracelet. Both are very versatile and look a bit dressier than the Exp 1.

ExplorerGuy · 17 January 2022, 08:53 PM

Personally it'd be the Moonwatch. I'm not so fussed myself but if a date function was important to you on one of them, GMT would be the alternative

karleone · 17 January 2022, 09:55 PM

Steel Daytona gmt or sub

Benzsiam · 17 January 2022, 10:03 PM

To me, I would pick the one I like and can get it from AD at msrp, all of them are good.

Verdi · 17 January 2022, 10:20 PM

This is my duo.

I love how these two perfectly complement each other. Nicely done!

B2 Stealth · 18 January 2022, 01:09 AM

GMT followed by Submariner

SoylentGreenChi · 18 January 2022, 01:10 AM

Personally, I would go for a more dressy watch to complement the Explorer. Staying within the Rolex ecosystem, I’d go Datejust or - at a much higher price point - the Day Date. I have both the Rolex Explorer and a Datejust (36mm) so that was what I did.

Other options to pair with the Explorer: Cartier Santos Medium, to stay in the same price point. If you are willing to go to a higher price point like the Day Date, then I’d get a Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle or Patrimony, an ALS Saxonia, or a Patek Calatrava.

This is if you want to go Explorer/Dress watch. If you’re going sports/sports, then can’t go wrong with any of the other Rolex sports models (GMT, Sub, Daytona, etc) - they are tops in their sectors. Good luck and have fun!

From my point of view an Explorer and a Datejust Reference 126334
