I got the Explorer 40 back in It's amazing, so comfortable and Fed is spot on!!!

I'm so over Rolex now. I prefer Omega!

[jamieopulence]

I’ve pondered this question several times. I think I’d go with Omega Seamaster 300m as the one and done 🌎

[KeithBeacham]

The 90s era Seamaster 300m is my grail. I got one for a great price years ago. If I never get another watch I'm good.

I was looking for my first and last "big" watch, and in the end the choice was between the Rolex Explorer 36 and the Omega Aqua Terra Skyfall, the one with the vertical lines. A friend sends me a photo of his hometown retailer's window with the Skyfall, where he bought his Speedmaster a couple of months before. I went to try it, it was beautiful, and 30% off. Everything was perfect and I chose the Omega.

Only one watch from Omega or Rolex Quite easy Rolex Explorer 40mm, it’s Versatile in nearly every situation not to mention brand equity and value retention

Omega _does_ have the perfect "one watch" though, just not the Diver 300. It's the Aqua Terra.

Explorer vs Seamaster is the wrong question. The perfect one watch collection is the Speedy.

[Jalbadaoth]

You can't call one watch a collection; it's a stupid term created to boost someone's ego. One watch is one watch.
- Hey, what's your hobby?
- I am collecting watches.
- Cool, can I see your collection?
- Sure, here's my Explorer...

With everything going electric/electronic, the beauty of mechanical instruments such as watches and cars are a great fit!

[Magpie]

The explorer is a great watch but for just one watch it would be the Omega Aqua Terra. Much better value for the money plus they are available at an authorized dealer without any shenanigans like having to buy other models to get on a wait list and groveling in front of the salesman.

I have both omega and rolex. I say either could be a one watch collection. One of my favorite watches is the omega speedmaster racing white dial chronograph.

[ZeroSOFInfinity]

Omega DSOTM Apollo 8 (2024 edition).

That settled the "one watch" question.

[jeffreyschreiber]

How about neither on the Omega vs Explorer 40. I say Explorer 36. 214270. Incredibly versatile. Easy to wear. Easy to grab out of the watch box when not sure what to grab. Goes with everything and in every situation. And it is a Rolex just for me. Not blingy. Very few people know what it is. Perfect one watch if I had to choose between the two (false) choices.

And how about fountain pens to go with the watches and cars. All, when made well, are wonderfully analog, tactile, visceral user experiences that you just don’t get from more “modern, ” and sterile, alternatives.

I have both Omega SMP 300 and an Explorer I (39mm) but for one watch collection I would recommend the Explorer I for that same reason. Even though I just recently had my SMP 300 serviced and overhauled and is running perfectly and have fallen in love with it all over again.

[alexmood]

One watch is not a collection. Although I do love my wonderful Hyundai one car collection.

[onlygoodsun]

Got my second watch from you today. Tudor 79230n
My first watch from u was the Ball caring edition. Beautiful too

[Gumby]

Watches and motorcycles, along with my bagpipes 😎

[AbdulRWatches]

I think the Explorer II is the do it all watch, but if I had to stay with one watch from both it would be the DJ 36mm. Great video Fed 👍🏽
