I own both the 124270 and the 214270.
With a 7 inch wrist one is sporty/ modern and one is vintage sized and dressier.
I love the 124270 on wrist and the gloss dial, dial layout and AR are exactly what I was looking for in a daily wear explorer. The MKII did a lot right but in the end the smaller size just works better on my wrist.
The new explorer has a lot of the changes that I loved in the 124 but I imagine it will wear too large for my preferences and my wrist.
