Congrats, I just got a 16550 Polar last week and can't seem to put anything else on my wrist right now. Enjoy it!

Awesome! Exp II polar is my favorite and hopefully the first piece of my next hobby. IMO it's understated for a tool watch yet has the quintessential Rolex styling, plus with the white dial it tells time like a champ! Congrats!

Congrats! I love the Explorer! Here's a pic of my old white dial one. I missed it so much after selling that I recently picked up another one (trying out a black dial this time)
