No holes case. Love it, though would have preferred the older case for its wider versatility for different straps etc. Still, very happy I pulled the trigger.

Congrats!

Congrats on your great looking Polar Explorer II! Looks great! Enjoy it in good health. Cheers!

rmlovett1 · 16 January 2019, 11:25 AM

Very nice! Congratulations!

e dantes · 16 January 2019, 11:26 AM

Congratulations! Just picked one up last week myself. It is a great yet underappreciated Rolex.

jonny deacon · 16 January 2019, 11:31 AM

congrats, great piece and pairs very well on distressed/oil-rubbed leather -- enjoy!

Thanks for that. Will definitely give it a try.

tadbart · 16 January 2019, 11:34 AM

Great looking watch! I love the red GMT hand infinitely more than the orange one on the new model. That thing is a beast of a watch, and in my estimation, quite underappreciated.

I'm not really considering purchasing a Rolex in 2019, but if I did, this one would be first or second on my list.

Congrats on the acquisition of a great watch!

HogwldFLTR · 16 January 2019, 11:35 AM

I love the Exp II in the 40mm size. One great watch for so many purposes!!! Congratulations!!!

watchwatcher · 16 January 2019, 11:35 AM

Looks good.

Zuger · 16 January 2019, 11:41 AM

Man, that looks nice. I don't know whether I should sell my Explorer II 42mm and get the 40mm instead. So torn!

BT1985 · 16 January 2019, 11:42 AM

Congrats! I just added one recently myself. Seems to be a theme lately for the 16570 polar. I bet the 40mm polar is the next Rolex to see people make a run on it as it has been under appreciated so is a good value and is so unique relative to the abundance of black dial 5 digit sport references.

Congrats - such a cool watch.

I’m thinking my next will be a Polar.

watchmavan · 16 January 2019, 12:35 PM

Nice pick up. Beautiful piece and much nicer than newer model imo. I considered getting one myself but as I already own a Rolex, I wanted something different. Loves yours tho. Enjoy.

I dig those. Congrats!

Vinyasa · 16 January 2019, 01:06 PM

Congratulations, fantastic model! Love my 16570 Polar. Holes or no-holes case makes no difference to me, it's an easy process to swap out straps. It's perfectly suited for a variety of straps, rubber, fabric/NATO or leather, depending on your taste/mood.

Desire may increase in future years as you say, particularly if the current impasse continues. Whilst perhaps not as high profile or as popular as some other sports models, its really a great watch that is still relatively attainable at good prices.

Timeslime · 16 January 2019, 11:23 PM

Congrats. Nice Acquisition

mixxmaster · 16 January 2019, 11:46 PM

Chewbacca · 17 January 2019, 12:02 AM

Congratulations

SearChart · 17 January 2019, 12:05 AM

One of the best looking Rolexes ever made IMO, congratulations!

sillo · 17 January 2019, 12:17 AM

Great choice! One of my favorites and brings something completely different to the table than the rest of the professional line.

JP. · 17 January 2019, 12:33 AM

One of the nicest classics. Great choice! This was mine.

It took me years to warm up to it. Happy surprise here.

Thanks, and also for great photo! Good computer background for now.

VegasMilgauss · 17 January 2019, 01:18 AM

Such a good looking watch - I absolutely love the white dial. Stunning, wear and enjoy in good health.

Bort · 17 January 2019, 02:35 AM

Beautiful watch, congratulations. I think the luminova dial looks excellent.
I would like to pick up a 40mm version myself, either black, or white dial.
