Swapping back and forth all of the time is getting to be a monotonous. I would like to sell one and keep the other. In the beginning I was very partial to the explorer but sometimes I can’t imagine not having the date function. Plus the DJ does sit a larger on the wrist and that is also nice. Tough choice here to just walk away with one…So help me decide because I am really at an impasse with this…
Explorer
Right!
To the left……
Doesn’t the explorer have a better movement and clasp?
It also has the better wearing bracelet.
And a better case. The Explorer still highlights those lovely case contours by brushing the top of the lugs and only polishing the sides. Current DJ stopped doing that in lieu of the simpler choice to just polish the whole thing like some kind of 90s Breitling Bentley.
Never understood that choice by Rolex. Adds bling, subtracts sophistication/refinement
Movement is basically the same, the Explorer is a cal 3230 movement with no date, while the DJ is a cal 3235 movement with date. Performance wise it’s the same.
You’re missing that the explorer is missing the date.

Explorer all day.
Keep the explorer
Dj looks better but idk much about watches, just interested.
Datejust on a oyster bracelet with the smooth bezel always looked odd to me so I would go with the Explorer.
Honestly, I’d source a lighter color dial and a fluted bezel for the DJ and call it a day. It’ll be different enough to keep both in the collection.
Both!
Right
datejust 100% i hate the numbers, the date is just nice.
the explorer has for me never been a nice rolex.
