I've been enjoying this watch. A lot!

I've been using my 5980 non stop for about 4 months now. It's probably my favorite watch with the AP Barrichello as a close second. But I have to say that wearing the Explorer II for the past few weeks feels great! I honestly have no worries about daily wear as I do with some of my other watches. This thing feels like a tank & the orange Rubber b makes it even more comfy. Anyone else feels the same way about the Explorer II?

The white dial is so crisp that it's stunning!

Your pic is the last straw that convinces me to seek a white-dial watch in my future; it's growing on me the more I see them.

I love mine, although it stays on its OEM bracelet. A mixture of style, beauty, practicality and rugged dependability. Whenever I travel overseas it accompanies me by default.

I love my Polar and it adds something different than the rest of my Rolex collection. The white really just pops.

One of the few professional models that work great with both standard and non OEM straps. A truly exceptional piece in the line...

I love my Polar too. Had a hiccup a couple of years a go but RSC took care of that.

Me too. I never really felt much for the Explorer, but more and more I'm on team Polar!

Nice!

Looks great! The orange strap goes so well with it and really brings out the orange hand. I love your Barrichello too!

Wearing my black Exp2 every day. Ticks all of the boxes for me. My Exp 36mm has been relegated to suit days and other duties where I just don’t want to wear a big sports watch.

Nice blend with the orange strap on the Explorer II, you can't go wrong with that combo.

If you had every model in the lineup in front of me and said pick one. I’d go Explorer II all day long.
