Great pictures in this thread! Really liking the look of the Explorer II on straps.

At first I wasn't interested in the new Explorer II, but they have really started to grow on me. I think the polar 216570 would fill the void nicely once I sell the only white dial watch in my small but growing collection.

I'm curious though, does the lume really last 7 to 8 hours as advertised?

I am starting to read plenty of threads of folks who are considering both dial variations of the 216570 so it's only right I bump this thread!

I especially love the white dial with the black marker and hand surrounds.
The addition of the vintage 24hr hand is magic!
