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.

'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.
