The Rolex Explorer I and Rolex Submariner are both incredible watches. In fact, you’d have a hard time coming up with better sports watches. If you plan on buying a Rolex and you’ve narrowed it down to these two, either choice is excellent. You would likely already know your choice if you planned on using the watch for diving or cave exploration. So, let’s take a look at which way you might go depending on your particular sense of fashion.
The Submariner is far more popular and in demand at the moment. That doesn’t mean it’s better or right for you. If the popularity of the watch is important to you, go with the Submariner but realize that can mean long waiting lists or purchasing only on the secondary market. You’ll pay more for your Submariner, in general, because you’ll buy on the secondary market.
Explorer has slim proportions compared to the Submariner, making it more attractive to some buyers, depending on fashion sensibility. Further, although the Submariner is more resistant to external scratches, the Explorer has better internal shock resistance.
For some, the understated appearance of the explorer is more attractive than the “in your face” appearance of the Submariner. The Explorer is a classier looking watch than the Submariner. For some, that may make it appear boring.
This is not to say the Submariner is too showy or too flashy. Its size and design are especially relevant to its purpose as a sports watch designed to be used underwater. The Explorer has different purposes, and the one thing you can count on when it comes to Rolex is that the watches are designed with purpose. Similarly, people are designed with different tastes, likes, and dislikes.
If you want a more subtle watch, you want the Explorer. If you want to make a statement, you want the Submariner.
