A Polarizing Incoming!
Hey everyone,
Some of you may remember a thread a couple weeks back of me asking about the Explorer I 39mm.... Well I saw the Explorer II Polar in person 16570 and I instantly fell in love and decided to grab that instead. So this bad boy arrives Wednesday morning. Can't wait! Will post wrist shots when it arrives of course... |

Congratulations! For the record here, just like almost *anything*, some like it and some don't. I've never really read people HATE the EXII but some really like it. As always, it's down to people's personal tastes. So, Polarizing is a little extreme here, but definitely a good 'headline.'
David Spade for instance, is a Polarizing-type celebrity. Sent from my SM-A520W using Tapatalk |

'POLARIZING' I get it. duhh.. I sure can't blame you for changing your pick. Explorer lls are far from being underrated anymore and have just as much history as Rolex has to offer.. Enjoy that Beauty!!... I love mine.

When I fist saw it, I was like, "how is it polarizing? It's a great watch?" Then my brain caught up.
