The black bezel is kind of nice buy on the other hands makes it resemble the Daytona.

I'm really happy I finally pulled the trigger on mine. I don't think I'd like it with a ceramic bezel.

Check out this orange GMT hand on this white dial Explorer II:

How to explain this enigma? Error dial perhaps?

The price of $10k is certainly an enigma

Put the black dial hand on a polar. Not sure what that says about QC at Athens plant though.

I really like it, in fact the black and might pull the trigger soon. Only reason I'm holding back is its problem of the bezel hour markings fading out.

Dear current owners, does that issue still happen with the current model?

They appear to be completely filled by something instead of painted.

LOL! True!

I just got my year-old LNIB 216570 for $7150 last week.

Seeing much higher prices on Chrono24 and even here.

i can't figure it out, my polar is the watch i probably wear and enjoy the most. The ability to change the timezone without hacking, the size, the colors, its a highly undervalued and under appreciated Rolex classic.
