1. Zenith El Primero 1969 - a real classic sexy beast
2. Rolex Explorer 2 - a recognizable sturdy daily beater

I've been looking for a Rolex Explorer 2 (40mm) and finally found one I'm happy with. Problem is, I also found a JLC Master Geographic, and a Zenith El Primero 1969 for sale (all preowned). I love all of them and they're all going for about the same price.

I have variants of all 3 (42mm Explorer 2, current Master Geo and 42mm tricolor).     I'd pick the JLC or the Rolex first - depends on whether you want something dressier or more rugged.

Pics of the JLC and Zenith would help...but i’d do the JLC as well. Its a premium brand no doubt..and maybe i’m wrong but there are less JLCs out there? So you can be a bit different..

As requested:


Such a shame that the sub-dials overlap each other as otherwise the dial is superb.

Zenith has rectified it
