OP 39 is a nearly perfect watch if you can live without the date function. For me, I do not love the DJ with black dial and polished bits.

Explorer out of those three choices.

But I would lean towards DJ41 (which is more like 39mm) non-fluted, on oyster bracelet for $7350 since that has the date function.

If by "one and only" you mean you're going to wear this every day at every occasion and while on vacation, at the beach or skiing, then I'd say the Explorer 100%. If for work or more dressed up occasions then I'd say you "could" go with either the OP or DJ. Not that the OP or the DJ would be out of place every day, they both are just as durable, but the look of them is more along the lines of "I like to play hard but at the end of the day I'm sleeping at the Hilton", the Explorer is more "Every day is an adventure and I bet I could wedge my body between these rocks and get some sleep."

I really like all three of these watches, so I don't think you could go wrong either way. Some will say go with the one that "speaks to you", which is sound advice. But I find that what I think of a watch before I buy it vs after I buy it changes somewhat. I always loved the Explorer since way back in the 80's and finally had the chance to buy one. But as I got more serious about the purchase the watch that "spoke to me" was the Explorer II with its date, black dial, and 24hr hand. It was a tough decision but I ended up with the Explorer because of the long love affair, but it didn't speak to me, at least not at first. 3 months down the road now and I absolutely love the watch. I love the simplicity, the way it sits on my wrist, and the statement it doesn't make, and the lume. I look at an Explorer II now and have no desire for it. It doesn't speak to me at all and I'm glad I didn't go that way.

Explorer for sure

droptopman · 23 February 2019, 05:15 AM

Explorer, prefer the mercedes hands over the OP and the DJ is too small IMO. Plus the DJ has polished parts.

Explorer 1
36 mm

awol123 · 23 February 2019, 06:59 AM

Out of the three, explorer. I would personally look at Datejust 36/41with fluted bezel for the one and only watch.

FrontHeadlock · 23 February 2019, 07:17 AM

Datejust pretty easily.

1. It has a date function
2. The dial is the most attractive of the three
3. I really dislike Arabic numerals on watches so the Explorer would be out for me

Toony · 23 February 2019, 07:21 AM

Explorer. It is in many ways the perfect one watch.

007_Omega · 23 February 2019, 07:23 AM

Explorer by a landslide.

uncle_paul_hargis · 23 February 2019, 07:26 AM

Do you need a date? If not, get Explorer. The OP is great, but exp better IMO.

The Explorer, no question.

Bigguy · 23 February 2019, 09:00 AM

Why not the DJ41...which is 39.5mm?

Just picked this up today and very happy with it!

SFmedic13 · 23 February 2019, 10:59 PM

I like the Explorer though I did not get one & opted for a DJ....
