Dear members,
Good morning!
I don't know if this is the right place to post my message.
While browsing this forum, I came across the 'debate' regarding which watch Sir Hillary edmund was wearing on the first successful everest climb. This article made me buy a Smith deluxe a409 from 1954.
Now I am looking for an Explorer 14 270. During my research I have found two potential candidates: one from 1992 and the other one from 1994. They are in the same range price, but the 1992 just comes with a guarantee card from 2023. The other one comes with the full set.
Now, according to what I have read online, the series C ( 1992) is a little bit less 'common '.
My dilemma is now which one should I buy if I pull the trigger. It is a lot of money so I don't want to make a mistake. On one hand I like the 1994 with the full set on the other hand, I like the idea the the 1992 is less common ( let me clarify it, it has nothing to do potential value of the watch. It is just that I enjoy vintage watch with a extra history. ).
What would you suggest, the one from 1994 or the one 1992? I know in the end, choosing a watch is a very personal choice but I want to ear other' s opinion because there are issues that I surely miss such as maintenance, guarantee....
Thank you for read my post.
I wish you a great day
Sincerely yours
Marc antoine martin
