Incoming: 16570
Hi folks! I feel compelled to share with you all my latest acquisition- a 16570 Polar. I know, not the most exciting of new additions, but its a special one for me and one that fills a nice little niche in my Rolex history.
My Rolex-wearing life started in the 5 digit era with a 16610 Submariner. Since that first watch, I've had experience owning just about every 6 digit sports model there is (sub, deepsea, explorer ii 42mm, GMT, you name it). Recently I started to get that itch for the more simplistic, scaled down styling that I remembered from way back. I think it's the growing love for the 5 digit model across these boards that got my wheels spinning- almost a nostalgia. I think we're nearing that time where we're far away enough removed from when they were last produced to really appreciate the details and differences that set them apart from their 6 digit counterparts. Kind of like when you exit a decade and find it hard to imagine looking back on the 90's or 00's as something unique or distinctive, but before you know it BOOM you see it! The low case profiles, slim lugs, tinny clasps, and rattly bracelets all of a sudden look and feel juuust right to me. Okay! Thanks for listening. Here's a pic ;) |

Great choice. There is nothing basic about the 16570. It stands on its own as a superb timepiece.
I also have an M serial. I love this watch to bits.
