Explorer or Explorer II
Help…Should I sell my current Explorer 124270 and purchase a Explorer II 226570 (black). I have a 7.5 inch wrist and have a slight feeling the current Explorer is a tad too small, although is it worth the additional expense? Thanks!

Your Explorer looks ok on your wrist, I wouldn't say it's too small, but with 8.5" wrists like mine those 36mm cases are just not an option for me. You can pull off both sizes so you're lucky.
The trend does appear to be in favour of smaller watches now but I still wish Rolex made more of their line in 42mm. That's my sweet spot.
Explorer just looks classier imho.
The Explorer is great on your wrist. As to your dilemma..........I could go either way. So I abstained from voting.
I prefer the Explorer II but I like sportier watches and the II fits the bill. I also like the larger size. 42mm and I don't find that it wears as big as many think. I love my Explorer II.
Yes 😬
124270 looks nicer on your wrist.
i would keep them both, they have different uses!
Yes, sell it…
…to me. 😏
But honestly: The Explorer looks nice on you, I would keep it.
IMO the 124270 looks about right. 👍
Thank you for all the feedback everyone! Overwhelming response, in favour of the 124270.
Clearly two beautiful pieces and I think that I’ll stick with my current Explorer, based on your feedback, as opposed to ‘upgrading’ to the 226570! Thanks again!
I’ve got both watches and I think they can be worn for different occasions. If you can, keep both!
Like the simpler Explorer myself

Thanks. Do you have a preference between the two? Particularly for someone with a one-watch collection?

Hmmm… now you’re asking. I’d say keep the explorer because it’s a clean watch. Can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The Exp II in black I think looks too tooly.
Keep the Explorer, not worth selling... But also get the Explorer II, that's a great combo and the black dial is underrated

Thanks. The black dial 226570 is certainly underrated!
