Rolex

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...

You're too kind

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 👍
