Second watch is definitely a tough one to pick. I find myself in the same boat, I want to own a second but I’m not sure how much I’d like not wearing my GMT !

Personally I like that DJ better.

I think this is sort of where I’m at, maybe liking the “idea” of the Sub more than the watch itself. Something about the DJ isn’t quite working for me either.

Well it took me well over a year of visiting my AD before I ordered my Explorer, this may just take a little longer.

It is arguably as good looking as the sub (personal taste is what it is) but the practicality is unmatched. I couldn't imagine getting on a plane or a long drive without mine
I originally wanted a GMT as I travel internationally every week with work. I find though that with my watch on home time and carrying my phone which auto sets to local time I’m covered. Also I find the GMT dial crowded with the cyclops and GMT hand, especially as its a small dial already because of the bezel.

Talk about nit picky I know!!
