I had the polar and sold it a few years ago, and now after looking at this thread over the past few days I really miss it and want to buy another to give my SubC a wrist break. Ugh. haha

I do miss that orange. Goes with all my orange attire - Go Tigers!

I think that I just didn't give it enough wrist time last time, because I really fell in love with my SubC that I acquired not long after. I also never tried it on a NATO, which may have been a huge mistake especially for warmer months. I will say that I'm more torn this time as to which dial color. The black looks fantastic as well, although I still lean white to offset the black dial of the Sub.

Black is more versatile IMHO...I wear it with a suit no problem. White is a bit sportier...but pops more.

I've been contemplating a SubC for a long time and will pop one eventually...but the white ExpII still gives me pause b/c its amazing in every way.
