Polar Explorer 2 is surprisingly sexy

It’s really starting to bond with me, why did I ignore this beauty?

How do you feel in wears in comparison to other Rolex watches?

Do you think this will get more wrist time? Picking mine up next week, phoned AD by chance to ask what’s in, this and AK was available so took the Polar. Can’t wait..

Congrats to you! I traded my AK in to my AD for mine in June of '18 He got it in the day I saw it but didn't put it on display. I slept on it and was back at noon the next day. I'm Glad I made the move when I did. Enjoy!!..

I am too a big fan of these. I first purchased a polar 16570 and just recently picked up a 216570 black dial. Versatile with straps, and lower key appearance make them a great choice and reference!

To keep the hype down so that I could buy mine with a AD discount before the Polar market went bonkers.

Thank you.

And congratulations.

Congratulations. I started with the Polar and think it is an amazing watch for appearance and wear. The sleeper is the black dial for me. I enjoy both.

Congrats!!

I just talked today with a very nice AD, she's getting a delivery from Rolex and told me forehand what's coming... She said she's getting two explorers... white and black dial. And I always liked the white one... Right now I only have dark dials, so I think I'm going to enjoy having a white dial again!

Will be hopping on a plane next week just for picking up the watch (and also a Z blue Milgauss!). I'm beyond excited to be able to get these two great sports models just with hustle and talking with the AD manager over the last weeks on the phone.

I’ve never had one on, but in pictures I prefer it over GMTs & Subs

I love mine. Weirdly I wasn’t in love when I purchased, but now I’m fully committed.

I love it. I think the white dial is my favourite model ever for playing with the loom.
It always looks so good against the white dial no matter the level of charge you give it.

Not surprising to me, the thing I like best about this watch is that it doesn't take itself too seriously and is nowhere near as try hard as most of the Rolex line up. Old school, proper tool watch loveliness.
