But for me, I am eyeing for quite some time an Explorer II 216570 polar, or the new standard Omega Railmaster + Grand Seiko SBGR261.

I have all three brands, Rolex, GS and Omega. While what I have are different models, I believe the ownership experience would be close to similar.
GS, while I love it, this watch really is a work of art and the polishing of this watch make it a work of art more than just a timepiece. Hence I tend to baby it too much.
Omega, classic, clean and simple design. Will stand the test of time. But not for every occasion as it may not be “casual or sporty” enough.
Rolex, may not be “dressy enough” for a suit and tie occasion. However one of the best day to day watches due to the versatility and toughness of the watch. Bracelet quality for the six digit references is one the best and solidly constructed around.
So simple verdict is...Rolex FTW...can’t go wrong here.
In any event, the most exciting bit while deciding to buy a watch is the hunting and trying on process. Have fun and good luck on your purchase.
