Cannot decide new(42mm) or old(40mm) Explorer II

[Ronyyk76]

i would buy the new model given the many improvements
but that's me
vintage lovers will go for the old version
compare both side by side and ask yourself which one is pleasing to your eyes

As I am new here, so I don't really know how to appreciate these upgraded functions.
For sure these watches match me equally, I think. It is a "love at first" thing.
But, after 5 years to 6 years later when it reaches time to upgrade, will the older model worth much lesser. For instance, if given a choice to buy a 40mm and 42mm years later, for both watch made in the same year, will more people(buyers) prefer get the 42mm instead?So, 40mm becomes very unpopular at that time?

To buy New or older Model (Rolex Explorer II)

Has always been thinking of getting my first Rolex (Rolex Explorer II), and now has finally decided to get it for the coming New Year.

Knowing that the new Rolex Explorer II (42mm) has been launched recently, will it considers wise to buy the older model (40mm, remaining stock) now? I cannot decide even knowing that the older one (40mm) costs lesser by 2k. Hope to listen to some experts’ opinion.

For the appearance, I find both the newer and old one are equally attractive.
