Also coz the explorer is iconic and has been seen on celebrity's wrists..Many women wear this

Generally, Rolex Date = dress watch, Rolex Explorer = sporty watch

Different case size. 34mm vs 36/39mm.

because rolex shot themselves in the foot by not changing its design after so many years.
so ppl rather get vintage datejust than new ones, forcing the pre-owned prices of new ones to be much lower than it should.
the subs no need to say la

One had a design that went up to mt everest and one is more like dressy watch
