If the Explorer II is one of your favourite Rolex lines, keeping both makes sense. They represent two completely different eras of the model.

Keep the 5-digit and get rid of the oversized and not so beautiful 6-digit.

I'll say other than THIS one in the picture, I'm very much a huge fan of the 6 digit Expl2 as well. I don't have a huge wrist, but I feel that it fits really nicely and elegantly, plus has the 'right' amount of 'tool watch' feel to it. I looked and couldn't find myself liking any of the 5 digit ones.
42 mm is a fantastic watch the fit on wrist is great , I moved from 40 mm sub to 42 mm explorer2 never looked back , flipped 40 mm sub to 41 mm sub I still prefer the fit of the 42 mm explorer
