I had a white AT in 41mm. I miss it, may get one in a smaller size. I have a DJ2 in blue, indexes, fluted oyster. A very nice sporty dress watch. Your call, the ATs look great, too.

I had a Seamaster 300m about 20 years ago. Soon got rid for a Rolex.
I used to see the Omega everywhere. I was once in a meeting and 4 of us had them on!

I also used to find the helium escape valve a bit ott, when the deepest it got was the bottom of the swimming pool. And that screw down valve used to stick in my wrist when my wrist was bent backwards.

AND bezel scratched so easily......it looked a mess in no time.

I’m a big fan of the AT in blue. I actually prefer the current version as I think it looks more balanced with the date at 6

I've got the bottom Seamaster that I have just bought brand new as a daily, I also have my dads 36mm Datejust OP which is silver & gold.

Due to it being gold I don't wear it daily as it does catch the attention, I tend to wear it as more of a dress watch. Mainly because its 36mm and I prefer the bigger 41mm watch.

I'm also adding a Tudor BB GMT to my collection soon.

I'm no fan of blue dials, but from the options given I like the Seamaster 300 the most.

The fluted bezel never seemed to catch my eye for some reason. And yes, I am pretty set on a blue watch . And I tired on a DJ, I just wasn't a fan of the cyclops. I'd be ok with not having a date if I were to get the OP or the EXP I. At the end of the day, I'm just gonna have to convince my wife I need more than one .

How do you like that rubber strap on it? I was thinking about looking at that one.

Enjoy your choice...all great watches!!
+1

I agree with going DJ and getting the fluted bezel. I think it’s a really great look and iconic Rolex for this model. But get whatever sings to you.

I’d get the DJ, but the AT is a great watch. I’d definitely get the Omega AT over the Rolex OP.

So today me and the wife went to Houston, and I looked around at a few places. I'm glad to say, after trying on everything, I have found the one for me:



It's weird, because I thought I would hate the mercedes hands, and the black dial, but when I tried on the watch it just fit. I think the rhodium OP is in second, but I think this is the one.
Now I got to start saving for it, haha.

I think so too. I spent a few minutes talking to one of the guys at the Rolex Boutique. He told me the OP was great, but once I put on the Explorer, I would love it. He wasn't wrong.
