I will take the Explorer ii - it’s a great size , very balanced, rough and of course - the only watch which won’t scream “look at my shiny bezel” 👌🏻👍🏻

Beautiful Watches! Marc, thank you for sharing a size comparison of them, gives a nice perspective of size between models. Chances of seeing all the models for comparison at AD would be difficult, much appreciated!

Robert Ballard discovered the Titanic - James Cameron just made the movie.

For me the SD43 all day! I just love that watch, and it's the only watch I take diving with me... But it seems Marc's fav. (at the moment), is his latest acquisition, the Polar explorer...

You got the Mark 2 dial made after 2017. Sea Dweller 43 wears so well it’s hard trying on anything after that.

Marc, thanks for the video. Great comparisons

Nice. Video Marc. Enjoyed reading your book also. Two Chocolate Labradors. . Your videos are easy to follow and informative. Far better than the drive in car posts . Thank you

Thanks for posting. First video I've seen of the SD43 with the new Mk2 dial.

Great comparison! I do love my Explorer II 42mm but have the Deepsea and Seadweller in my sights thanks!

I’d take Explorer II of those options (already picked it up). I have a Sub 2-tone bluesy too. A friend with huge wrists got the sea dweller his daily wearer and loves it.

Polar explorer II is my favorite watch, and the watch I'm saving up for. I think it's your favorite as well

Nice, yes polished links do scratch so easily but i love them

I choose the Explorer 2. Thinner, it pops more... and as I don't dive, the GMT complication is the way to go!

One of the best Rolex James Cameron mark one ✌️

The SD43 keeps me up at night. Amazing watches Marc, thanks for the video.

I own three of the four (I don't own the Explorer). I put my SD43 first, my Batman second, and my James Cameron (2018 model) third. That's not the overall order in my collection but the SD43 is #1 no matter what I am comparing it against. BTW, I just purchased the Batman last week and picked it up two nights ago. My wife keeps shaking her head at my endless purchases, but I showed her the video where you said if you find a Batman then buy it! I told her that even the professional KZreadrs know that it's the right thing to do!

The fixed bezel, white face and orange GMT hand make the Explorer 2... it’s also my daily driver so maybe I’m a little biased but I wouldn’t trade it for either of the others 😊

Just getting to this vid now. Great to see a real life comparison, so thanks Marc. I don't have particularly big wrists, however I can't stop thinking about the James Cameron. It's a grail for me and hopefully my second rolex 👍🏻

Awesome video I’m looking at getting SD50 or the DSSD or BatMan so this might have helped me out thanks.

👍Nice vid! ...I like the closeup comparison shots!

When I wear my Deepsea for 1 week or more, it stops feeling heavy, and when I switch back to a different Rolex, it feels extremely light weight .

Aesthetically I like the 50th anniversary with the redline. But I'd wear the Batman since I have a less than 7 inch wrist. You're lucky to have m all👍

Great review Marc. I have the DSSD and have the 216570 (polar) being shipped to me. I would have liked to see a stack of the two watches like you did with the SD43/DSSD.

I own all three! Part of my collection of 19 Rolex, APs and a cartier Santos! The explorer 2 is very underrated and is currently growing in value. For me it’s the JC deep sea is the “best” out of the three. I love it.

For myself, I would prefer the GMT Master 2 or the original Explorer 2 in 40mm, as I have smaller wrists. But I think the SD43 is the best of the bunch, it is amazing, in every way.

I have the Explorer ii 42mm but i think my next watch will be a James Cameron or the 43mm Sea Dweller, depending on what's available.

Love my Exp 2 polar, had it for five years now and although it's a 42mm it doesn't wear or feel big and can be worn anywhere and is my go to daily and holiday watch....the SD43 I just can't get on with and miss my original SD4000. The deep sea I agree was top heavy for someone who like me who wears my watches slightly loose.

Same thoughts here

I have the DSSD James Cameron and it is a hefty piece to wear for sure but it just has so much presence and the most beautiful dial in Rolex’s entire line-up imho. Although I like Rolexes, I do wonder about collectors who seem to focus on just that one brand, good as they are, they lack variety and have very limited complications which is why I’m building my collection around that very feature....complications....how many can you think of and how many different, cool brands can you think of who produce great examples of complications....that is my quest!

1st choice Rolex Explorer II 🤍, 2nd choice JC Deepsea 💙 I hope to have both in my permanent collection.

For sure you favorite is the JC as well as me 😄.

SD but only for beach/pool/swim wear. These are very big watches.

With a thin wrist I find all three too big. But I like the Explorer II a lot and why, come Spring I hope to get an older 40 mm Explorerl from one of the reputable source that sell previously owned watches.

The last couple years I got it into my head that I should wear a bigger watch. Got a 42 steinhart and then a 44mm diver of another brand and eventually I felt the 44 was to big. Then I got a 40 tisell and I find it really is the perfect size for my wrist. (even though I still like the 42 size and kind of miss that being on my wrist) That being said, that 43 sea dweller is kind of a grail watch for me anyway.

Everything looks good on Marc’s handsome chunky wrist. I too shunned my Daytona for an SD43. The Daytona is hard to read and does less than nothing for me.

All three are stunning and very cool! Starting from a tall blonde middle European, I would take the SD43 if I could have only one watch. 40mm is ok, but for smaller guys!

SD43 is on a whole other level

Looks like you wear your bracelet quite tight. I like it rather loose on the wrist. I’ll go with the polar Explorer II.

You are wrong. USN Commander Robert Ballard discovered the sunken Titanic. I met him when I was an officer in the Navy at Woods Hole. James Cameron produced/directed the 1997 movie Titanic. I love the Polar Explorer. Gorgeous.

Explorer 2 all day long. It’s most versatile watch of the three, and the white dial is just stunning. On the other hand I would pick a submariner for everyday unless you are a professional diver then would consider any of the heavy duty divers 43mm or 44mm.

The real question is whether Garc Moldberg's 4 piece Rolex collection beats Paul Pluta's latest 4 piece Rolex Collection. Given the manner in which the Pontiph acquired the last 3 pieces (i.e., Milgauss, Bluesy, and the TT Daytona) via swindling his ex-wife and his intention to stiff the finance company that worked with the Solar panel company, I give the nod to Paul. Sorry Garc but his scheme in acquiring his last 3 Rolexes beats your method of acquisition (i.e., earning a living by teaching pooches how to piss on wee wee pads, roll over, etc.).

However, his ex-wife is going to be holding the bag when the Solar Finance company shows up 5 years from now ready to demand payment plus interest or else face repossession of the panels. By then, Paul will have inherited Paul, Sr.'s estate and spending his daddy's money on acquiring Patek Grand Complication watches.

I love the Explorer II 16570! It’s getting expensive though!

43 sea dweller is the one for me

Nice comparison. What’s your wrist size?

I have the SD43, fantastic watch for an 8 inch wrist. It remains a complete mystery to me who would want to wear a Deep-Sea - skinny band, ginormous head, wtf? With my big wrist, I'm beginning to warm to the Explorer II - thought it ugly for so long, but it's big, and relatively light. Like I say, I'm warming to it. Not so easy when you have a big wrist - most watches are aimed at a 6 1/2 to 7 inch wrist, hence so many 40mm models.

SD43 and Ex 2 share the same case.

Wrist is too big for the standard submariners or GMT II.. SD43 looks amazing. Having a hard time deciding between that and the explorer 2.. that GMT arm (even though it’s not technically a GMT) feels like a nice complication especially because I usually need to track an additional TZ . But the SD43’s ceramic bezel is so much nicer.

Beautiful watches Marc. Congrats on a great ROWLECKS collection.

The star of your collection is the Sea Dweller and arguably the only watch you will ever need. The Exp 2 Polar has the heritage, tool watch pedigree but it is always somehow an entry level Rolex and stimulates the senses for more. The James Cameron is a tank, but arguably unless your deep sea diving or Jacques Cousteau (God rest his soul) unnecessary. But regardless of my nickel all your watches are superb!

The exp 2 is to big they need to fix it and make is smaller again!!

Love my Rolex Deepsea black dial

That half blue/half black dial with kawasaki green Deepsea inscription is the most hideous thing Rolex ever made, what a lack of class... Sea Dweller and Explorer 2 gets my vote. Id take a DSSD as a Desk diver as well, but only with a black dial.

Do most people wear their watches this low on the wrist?

Truth! ????

Marc, I enjoy your videos, but are you drinking a little bit too much scotch, trying to keep warm, before the video ??? 33mm Sea Dweller , 43mm Deepsea ???

A watch belongs behind the wrist bones. That’s where it belongs. Not straight to the hand. I will never understand, people wearing watches like this. They dig into the hand, they are too loose und jingle around, and that’s bad for the movement and the bracelett, cause every jingle/hit is transformed to the movement and the bracelet... But: Where it as you like, it’s yours.

the explorer II actually looks the biggest on wrist because of the larger dial and the white colour.... it's too bad because I really want a 216570 but it is a bit oversized imo
