You gotta try them on and see which one looks best. I wanted an exp II for the longest time, hadn't even considered a GMT. then I tried them both on and bought the GMT. Ithink your wrist will tell you which one to get!

I really like the white dial explorer 2 but would have to go with the blnr because I think the look is more striking plus the accessories are interchangeable with many other sport model Rolexes.

The BLNR gets my vote! The Explorer II is nice, but the BLNR just seems more versatile IMHO. Good luck in your choice. Cheers!

Both watches look fantastic. I had the choice and opted for an Exp II Polar. It better fits my lifestyle, which outside of work is casual (jeans, motorcycles, outdoors stuff, etc.). I can still rock it at work when I don’t wear a suit, and feel that it fits well with khakis and a polo, sportcoat, etc. If I wore a lot of suits, I might consider the BLNR, as it feels a bit dressier to me.

The Polar is easily the most legible watch I have owned, and I really like it. Good luck with your choice!

Blnr for its good looks and comfy fit. 16570 is insanely comfy 2 FYI

Great shot. I have the BLNR and would love to add the polar explorer. I can’t believe how big it looks in the photo though. I’m hoping Grand Seiko releases another White dialed quartz diver. The last one was discontinued and I sold it so I could acquire the BLNR.

Batman. The explorer doesn't even come close. Not even remotely.
