First love..

This is what started it all for me. Seeing this watch advertised in magazines like Newsweek and Time made an impression on me when I was in my late teens. I remember being enamored with the brushed steel and the contrast of white on gray. Doesn’t get much...

Love the patina on yours.

First love..

Yes, my friend, the Explorer II is a great watch and the 16570 a cool reference.

That one is special for sure :-)

Yes, but the 16570 has a lot of charm, too.

It is not called “polar” for nothing :-)

:)))

Indeed a cool watch

Looks likeba well loved piece :-)

and it should stay with you.... very nice reference

I was toying the idea of giving this to my daughter if and when. I asked her about it a couple of years ago. She said it was too expensive. But shés still in college so who knows :-)

A long period of ownership

Hehe yes indeed, nothing like the old print ads :-)

Saved up and bought a 1970 Speedmaster when I was 17

Lovely shot.

You're too kind

A real tool watch. ;)

Yes it is! A good one and done for many. All the exp2 that i see on friends and acquaintances, it´s usually their only nice watch. To be fair, I suppose no different from most other pieces in the rolex stable.

Interestingly, I hardly ever see the polar outside of the WIS community.

yes,it's a real keeper for me

Love the patina on yours.

thanks

Great patina on the lume!

glad you like it,thanks

Very nice. Nothing like natural patina :-)

Fantastic polar 👍
