Hi members,
As all here I am trying to figure it out how to build a perfect "box" for the years ahead. In the evenings quite often instead of smt new I watch "watch-reviews" and maybe a bit too much
. This is not alright to be honest š, but we are where we are.
I have tried OP 41 and actually surprised how well it sits. Better than Explorer. Clasp is smaller, the watch is very smooth, while Explo felt a bit sharper more like "square" when I moved to the clasp, so it's loosing that "butter feeling" when you try to finish your thoughts and clasp it's the last thing you are looking at. Or is it very objective and my observation is wrong?
In Explo the crown and letters on the dial are written like "ROLEX", while in OP it's "rolex". The last one is more attractive to my eyes. Other than that Explo is a professional model with excellent visibility and comfort. It feels more prestigious, but I am not sure.
What do you think about OP 41 with a black dial?
Which one do you think fit collection better?
In Youtube a lot of bloggers are saying that 39mm Explo was a proper one and though 40mm is good, but it's not perfect.
I found another reviews where people have Sub & Explo and they were making comparison. In the end they said Sub all the way and my Explo has to be sold. Is it true that to get a proper Rolex you have to get Sub?
Obviously it costs more and harder to get. I have dive watches and to get another dive...? No logic here..
For the future I am also looking at Cartier Santos med - YouTuber's just caught me here , and might be used X33. Although me and Cartier... it's like a man who used to drive tractor were asked to drive Rolls-Royce that's how I feel myself.
It's also funny when Rolex Explo is considered a "field watch" with that amount of gloss/polishing and all watch-youtubers were saying it's a perfect one watch "under the radar watch" with "ROLEX" on the dial.
All my watches are black mainly. I used to have blue Citizen, green, another green and ended up selling all of them. I don't like when the watch is "flashy", but when all black your collection is boring, isn't it?
I don't want to buy smt new and do not use it or even worse sell it. It's a pain in the ** to sell expensive stuff.
Overall, what do you think/could advise?
