Rolex Explorer hands down. Hoping to add this to commemorate my 40th birthday this year.

That's awesome 👍
What you have there is three very nice watches and the literal GOAT.
Ideal? The Explorer.
But the truth of the matter is, the Christopher Ward is 95% the watch that the Explore is. (At a fraction of the price.)
Having both Rolex and CW, I don't ever feel "underwatched" (is that a real term?) when I wear the Sealander.
As for the other two, the Longines doesn't appeal to me, especially for the money, and the GS is too dressy for a GADA watch, but it is beautiful.
Are we talking real GAGA, or post a pic on social media before switching to our actual GADA?
The CW C63 is the real GADA watch of the four, because it's the one that you can wear without thinking about what you're wearing. The Longines is likely in a similar position for some, but at 2-3x the price of the CW, that number is smaller than for the C63.
‘Go Anywhere Do Anything’ in a Rolex Explorer? No a chance.
Of the 4 it has to be the Christopher Ward. A very decent watch but without the risk of getting it stolen, being mugged or damaging it.
What I assume are the pricier half here both do less than nothing for me. If the Longines weren't afflicted with odd lug width, it would be my clear choice. Honestly, the only problem I have with the Christopher Ward is that name. I think Montgomery Ward. Must I have two of some stranger's names on my watch, and in a dreadfully uninspired typeface? If the name were not on the dial, CW.
CW for the affordable option
Longines if you have the money
Rolex can KMA for what they are getting for the Explorer. No chance.

That's my thoughts as well. CW makes awesome GADA watches. Longines is not bad either.
Idk why most people love rolex explorer this much, maybe it's the name "explorer" maybe it's the brand popularity, but it makes no sense as a GADA watch imo.

😂 Yeah the name. They do have a good looking logo though... They could use the logo instead of that creepy name lol
