Oh well, i just posted a similar response on a separate post here, but definitely the 114270 instead of DJ

Definitely Explorer I.

Your collection are mostly Sport Model, say the GMT master 2, Submariner and a Panerai, no point buying another sport model like the Explorer.

So my vote would be the Datejust, best for dressy or formal occasion and 36mm just couldn't do any better fit perfectly under any cuff.

At 36mm, I'd vote the Explorer 1, in particularly the 114270 - but agree that the prices are now very high for it.
The 114270 feels more like a direct descendent to the very original Rolex Explorer. I personally don't like that the new Explorer 1 in 39mm.
If it's a toss up at 39mm, definitely go with something else.

Explorer ftw!

I will personally choose the Explorer I but not the 36mm as it looks a bit ridiculous on me. But if your wrist size and height allow it, go for it.

If they finally release a polar Explorer I at Baselworld 2019, I will be the first to try to order one (photo from Monochrome)!

Explorer 214270 for me! If 36mm, I’d go for Explorer 1016 (if money is not an issue, Lol!)

I have a highly collectible legendary iwc pilot mark xii (12) the only pilot mark with jeager le coultre movement which is 36mm which is the most origin proportion to the legendary 36mm mark xi (11) . But thinking to let go haha.. Maybe will post at the pre-owned category later on if decided to let go.

Here's come the sought after collecting rare "Mark 12" , Born after the Legendary Mark 11 ! And is the only Mark series with legendary Jeager Le-coultre high end 36 jewels movement ! Fully services by IWC !

Many Collector always use "mark 12" commenting with Rolex explorer 114270 when comes to buying because of the size is same at 36mm & both is sporty look!
Rolex explorer 114270 36mm or IWC pilot mark 12 catch your eyes more? ??
