Incoming Explorer II polar
Picked up an explorer ii today from the ad. Was a very nice experience and glad to see that the statement of interest does work - for some models at least.
As offered this July last year but was abroad and missed out. Original offer took 4 months, then it has been about 10 more from then. Wears very well on me I think and the legibility is off the charts good. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Incoming Explorer II polar
Thanks very much. Must say, I find the quick set date models much easier to set but the jumping hour hand is really cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Great to see! I'm waiting patiently for mine. I'm only about 3 months in officially.
That's a great watch to pair with the sub! |

Congratulations. Looks really good!
How does it wear compared to your sub (size and presence wise)? |

It is noticeably bigger. Thickness feels about the same despite the caseback being less of a bubble. Weight wise feels the same to me but haven’t weighed it yet. The white dial is incredibly legible. Don’t feel as though it is nearly as noticeable as a sub though and although it won’t fly under the radar it isn’t as bling without the shiny ceramic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
