I have a Steinhart version of the Explorer II and love it. Between these two though I'd go with PD. I have larger wrists and it looks cleaner on the dial to me. Both have qualities I don't care for. The thickness and cyclopes on the PD I don't care for and on the AD its size, snowflake hands. Likes would be PD for the crystal, markers, crown guard, and movement over the AD. AD has much better lume and PD has not done that well on any I own.
