FedEx stopped by; SIGN HERE!! 216570 Incoming

FedEx stopped by today to say SIGN HERE!! I said Sure with pleasure.

Finally got my grail watch!! WOO WOO!! Dealing with Alfred (FNFZ4) was great. He worked with me and made this buying process easy.

After purchasing the explore II 16570 polar white I just wanted something bigger and newer. The explorer II 216570 black dial has been the watch I have been eyeing for a long time. I should have just bought it the first time around but, live and learn I took a hit but thats all behind now as I am a proud owner of this new;

I've had my Polar 216570 for nearly a year and it's my favourite daily wearer.
Black dial version is just as beautiful too.

Thanks guys! I super excited to have this watch. I had to take off two links to fit my wrist. Something that is soooo cool is the magnification of the cyclops. I'm not sure if it's because the bigger dial of this model but man the date just pops out and is huge.

I was back and forth of the white and black dial. They are both awesome. Reason I chose the black was the matt finish on the dial and I like the chrome accents around the hour markers and minute, second and hour hands. I also like the phantom look that the hour and minute hands have with the black paint.

I don't think anyone can go wrong with either or. In a perfect world I would have them both.

Congrats.. I much prefer the thicker case to other 40mm models. It's a keeper for many years.

Congrats on a great watch.

Looks like a proper screw driver is needed to size that bracelet.
