Dear Rolex Members
What do you guys think about the Sub Ceramic with no date and the Explorer 1, I am thinking to get both? Or should I pay some more to buy the WG Daytona with Oysterflex, it is nice. I already have the SS Ceramic Daytona in black dial. The Daytona in WG and steel dial is very appealing but of course, it cost much more than both watches combine.
Best regards,
Baxter

Sub no date all the way. I own the old version, it's a true strap monster and interestingly it's less common on the streets . And instead of another vanilla Rolex, wait a bit longer and get the omega railmaster , there will be a non-limited edition coming...
Choices!!
The sub no date is an iconic watch no matter what the year it was made. I also agree it's very strap friendly. I own a 5513 from 1986 and it looks great on straps.
Explorer 1
I just got the 214270 Explorer 1. Outstanding no frills timepiece what it should be. Best of luck on your choices.
I would say both. Each of them have their raison d' être in a collection.
And don't forget the GMT MASTER. It is another quintessential Rolex! Best, Nicolas
Thank you Dear Sir
I already have the GMT Master II in blue black too. It is one of the watch a Rolex enthusiast has to have. Best regards, Baxter
Hard to say without knowing what else you have and if this is to be a daily wear or rotation piece.
For a casual sports watch I'm a big fan of the oysterflex Daytonas, and the WG has a very cool stealth factor. The Sub and Exp I are classics you can't go wrong with and well suited for daily wear. All good choices!
